University of Georgia Men's Track

Kyprianou is entering his eighth year with the program on the heels of earning back-to-back U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Women's Assistant Coach of the Year honors indoors. A native of Limassol, Cyprus/Greece, he coaches pole vault, jumps, decathlon and heptathlon. Kyprianou, who has also garnered a combined four USTFCCCA South Region Assistant Coach of the Year honors during the last two years and four seasons, followed up a sensational 2014 with a stellar 2015 in Athens. His student-athletes locked down four NCAA individual titles, six Southeastern Conference individual championships and a Second Team Academic All-America certificate. In 2014, he guided his crew to a school record five NCAA titles, another six SEC championships and the 100-meter hurdle crown at the USATF Junior Championships and World Junior Championships. Kyprianou has made a tremendous impact on the Bulldog program during his seven years, raising the teams to a spectacular level over the last two years. In addition to his national and league champions, Kyprianou has boasted 25 NCAA First Team All-America certificates that led to 167.5 combined points scored at the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets and 228.5 points at the SEC Championships in 2014-15. Thanks in large part to his corps, Georgia has finished with five top-10 and seven top-20 national finishes in the team races over the last two years, including UGA's best combined outdoor finish in history as the Lady Bulldogs took fifth and the Georgia men were sixth in 2014. Individually, his student-athletes have tallied a jaw-dropping list of accolades: American Junior Records in both the women's indoor (13.98m - 45 feet, 10 ½ inches) and outdoor (14.15m - 46-5.25) triple jumps, a American/World Junior Record in the pentathlon (4,635 points), American Junior records in the heptathlon (6,018) and 100m hurdles (12.87), back-to-back collegiate/NCAA Championships records in the pentathlon (4,635 - 2014, 4,678 - 2015), collegiate/NCAA Championships records in the heptathlon 100m hurdles (12.99), a Cypress national record in the outdoor high jump (1.93 meters - 6-4), matching SEC Championship records in the indoor high jump (1.89m - 6-2.75) in consecutive years, an SEC Championships outdoor record in the triple jump (14.15m - 46-5.25), an SEC Championships record in the men's indoor heptathlon (6,036), an SEC Championships decathlon high jump record (2.17m - 7-1.75), an SEC Championships decathlon record (8,326) and an SEC Championships outdoor heptathlon shot put record (14.48m - 47-6.25).
