The Coach: Ron Combs continues his 24th season as the head coach of Wilmington's men's and women's track and field teams. Combs has been named Coach of the Year, twice by the Heartland Athletic Conference, and once by the OAC. In 2002, he led the men's indoor team to a sixth-place finish at NCAA DIII Championships.
Who to Watch: Aidan Henson is one of the top seeds in the 400-meter dash and the 800-meter run after racing in two open events at the OAC Indoor Championships.
