Marc Davis enters his fifth year at Yale and works primarily
with the Bulldog men's and women's sprinters. Under the guidance of
Coach Davis, the Yale sprinters have seen a great deal of success
and have begun to establish themselves as a threat on the east. In
2004, Davis' speedsters earned many accolades throughout the indoor
and outdoor seasons. On the women's side, Katrina Castille and
Joslyn Woodard both captured Ivy League Championships, with
Castille winning the 60m crown and Woodard winning the outdoor 200m
championship. Woodard also sped to a school record and All-East
performance at the ECAC championships in the 200m where she
finished in 2nd place. Castille and Woodard teamed with Jessica
Pall and Aisha Cort on the 4x100m relay team to earn a 3rd place
finish and an All-East performance at the ECAC championship hosted
by Yale University. On the men's side, Davis' sprinters had a new
found enthusiasm, which made for a very successful season. During
the indoor season, Freshman Russell Kempf raced to an All-Ivy
performance finishing 2nd in the 60m, and Sophomore Robert deLaski
had the fastest time in the Ivy League for the 500m. During the
outdoor season Kempf once again was an All-Ivy performer in the
100m and qualified for the Junior National competition in the 200m.
Davis also coached the 4x100m relay team to their fastest time in
the last 6 years and a spot on the Yale All-Time List. Prior to
Yale, Coach Davis spent one and a half years at Lafayette College
and three and a half years at Millersville University in
Pennsylvania. While at Millersville he helped to guide numerous
athletes to the NCAA Division II national championships and to
all-East performances. He continues to bring a wealth of technical
knowledge and enthusiasm to the Yale program. Davis competed as an
undergraduate at Lafayette College under the tutelage of current
Yale Coach David Shoehalter and was a two time Patriot League
champion in the sprints and was an all-East performer at 200m
indoors. He graduated from Lafayette in 1995 with a degree in
Sociology.
