Men's Track & Field

Josh Cyrus enters his third season as an Assistant Cross Country and Track & Field Coach at Wilmington College for the 2024-25 academic year.

The 2023-2024 season saw Cyrus assisting during the cross-country season that saw two All-Region, an OAC champion, a regional champion and an All-American. Cyrus’s sprints in track saw three program records taken down along with an All-OAC honor for Haley Cook in the Women’s 400m and an All-American performance in the High Jump for Brady Vilvens at the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Continuing to assist the distance side, Cyrus aided in three All-Americans and another National Champion performance with Faith Duncan’s win in the Women’s 5,000m run at the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

During 2022-23, he assisted Head Coach Ron Combs in one of the best men's years in program history. The men's cross country team won the 24-team JennaStrong Fall Classic, took third at the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Championships and sixth at the 42-team NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Meet. The Quakers narrowly missed qualification for the NCAA Division III Championships, but sent three individuals to run in the final meet. There, Simon Heys took home his second All-American honor.

In track & field, Cyrus aided distance participant Simon Heys to multiple All-OAC honors as well as an All-American performance and new school record in the 10,000-meter run at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He also assisted high jumper Brady Vilvens during a season that saw him crowned as Co-National Champion at the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Cyrus was a four-year member of both the cross country and track & field programs as a middle-distance runner. Cyrus was named as the first team captain since 1996 and the 2022 Wilmington College alumnus was a three-time Academic All-OAC selection and earned All-OAC honors at the 2020 OAC Indoor Track & Field Championships.
