Bryan Harmon has outdone the success of the Lake Erie College cross country program in each of his three seasons at the helm of the Storm. As a former participant at the NCAA Division II level within the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC), Harmon's teams bettered their conference finishes each season, most recently achieving a program-best sixth place standing out of 10 member teams during the 2007 season on both the men's and women's sides
Now with three successful seasons to his credit, Harmon looks to lead his team to even greater achievements in 2008 as the Storm competes as an NCAA Division II provisionary member.
The Mentor native has a strong running history, having tallied seven collegiate letters in track and cross country, as well as earning Most Improved Runner honors for the Tiffin University cross country program in 2002. He was also a part of back-to-back conference track championships his junior and senior years.
Since graduating from Tiffin with a degree in sports management, he continues to compete in the sport regularly, most recently running in the 2007 Boston Marathon for the second time. In 2006, he finished 260th overall and was in the top three among Ohio runners with a debut time of two hours, 45 minutes and 30 seconds.
Coach Harmon began the College's first club track and field team which was introduced in the spring of 2007 and competed at the varsity level for outdoor in 2008. He continues to serve as the head track and field coach for the men's and women's teams which will compete at the varsity level for both indoor and outdoor during the 2008-09 academic year.
