CMU welcomes experienced sprints and hurdles coach from Lewis
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Central Michigan University Track and Field welcomed Nathan Probst as an assistant coach specializing in sprints and hurdles for the 2023-24 season on Thursday.
Probst joins the Chippewas from his previous post at NCAA II Lewis University (IL), where he spent the past ten years leading the Flyers in the sprints and hurdles as an assistant coach. While at Lewis, he coached seven Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Athlete of the Year recipients, 37 first-team All-Americans, 63 GLVC Champions and 109 All-GLVC honorees. From 2008-11, he served on Lewis's staff in a part-time capacity for the same event area.
In 2021, he was awarded the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Women's Regional Assistant Coach of the Year.
Prior to his tenure at Lewis, Probst spent two years as an assistant track and field coach and strength and conditioning coach at NCAA III Rhodes College (TN). With Probst on staff, the Lynx saw their first All-American finish in 2012, three Southern Athletic Association titles, two qualifications for NCAA Championships and coached two relay teams to break Rhodes school records.
Probst holds a master's degree in organizational leadership from Lewis (2011) and a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin in political science (2007).
A member of three Big Ten Triple Crown Championship teams between indoor and outdoor track and field, Probst primarily competed in the outdoor 400-meter hurdles and the indoor 400 and 600-meter dash.
