Nick Schneigert recently completed his fourth season as head coach of the University of Dallas men’s and women’s track & field programs, becoming the 10th coach in program history. In his first full season, he led the Crusaders through six outdoor meets, including the SCAC Championships.

The men’s team, made up entirely of freshmen, saw multiple personal bests from distance runners like Jonathan Cantu, Ryan Connor, Luke LaCour, James LaTour, and Nico Walz, who earned SCAC Runner of the Week. Dual-sport athlete Logan Byrum set a PR in shot put, while Grace Ebberwein and Megan Scott led the women’s team, with Ebberwein also earning conference recognition.

Schneigert brings over a decade of experience coaching at the collegiate, high school, and club levels, including successful stints at Harper College, Illinois Tech, Rockford University, and Triton College, where he launched the program and produced several USTFCCCA All-Americans.

In total, he’s coached 25 USTFCCCA All-Americans and nine NJCAA All-Americans. A U.S. Navy veteran and former All-Navy track athlete, Schneigert has completed over 100 road races, including nine marathons and one ultramarathon. He holds multiple USATF Level II certifications and a degree from Southern Illinois University.

Schneigert lives in Texas with his wife, Patty, and their children, Izabella Maria and Jakob Piotr.
