** UPDATE: Photos from Rob Johnson's Retirement Banquet

The 2007 outdoor track & field season is something of a farewell tour for Wabash head coach Rob Johnson. This season will be the last for Rob, a coach, mentor, and friend of the Little Giants for the past 37 years. He will be honored at a retirement banquet on Saturday, April 19. For more information or to make reservations, contact Michele Tatar in the Wabash Alumni and Parent Relations Office by email or phone (765-361-6369).

Rob took over the Wabash track and field and cross country programs in 1972 and coaches both sports up until this past fall, when he handed over the reins of the cross country program to one of his many former All-Americans, Roger Busch ’96.

In addition to his storied career with the Little Giants, Rob was the first NCAA Division III coach to serve as an assistant coach with the United States Olympic team when he served the team at the 2000 Sydney Games. He has long been involved with the Olympic Development Committee and helped coach two US Junior National Teams. For more click here.
