Olympian Kerron Stewart is joining SPIRE Academy’s track & field coaching team as Head Coach – Sprints, Hurdles & Middle Distance.
The 38-year-old, Jamaican will be joining Tim Mack and Kibwé Johnson to round out SPIRE’s Olympian-led track & field coaching team.
Stewart is a world-class sprinter who claimed silver in the 100m and bronze in the 200m in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, as well as another silver in the 2012 London Olympic Games as a member of the 4 x 100m relay team.
She is an alumnus of Auburn University, where she was named All-American seven times, the 2007 SEC Runner of the Year, and USTFCCCA National Runner of the Year.
In 2008, she was selected for the Beijing Olympics following a first-place 10.80 seconds 100m finish and a 21.99 seconds place 200m run at the Jamaican Olympic Trials in Kingston.
That same year, Kerron earned her first Golden League victory and would go on to earn four more throughout her career. Kerron’s dazzling career includes three bronze medals, one silver medal at World Athletics Finals, and one Pan-Am Games silver medal.
Coach Tim Mack is excited that Kerron is joining the SPIRE coaching team.
SPIRE’s Director of Track & Field, Kibwé Johnson, welcomes Kerron on board to form their own “Dream Team.”
Kerron is the latest female leader to be brought on the SPIRE coaching team, alongside Women’s Basketball Coach, Candice Wiggins, and Assistant Swim Coach, Molly McCulloch, once again proving SPIRE’s commitment to having strong female representation among their staff.
