HANOVER, N.H. – The Marjorie & Herbert Chase '30 Director of Dartmouth Track & Field and Cross Country, Mike Nelson, has announced the hiring of Adam Lufkin as an assistant coach with the Track and Field program to specialize in throws.
Â
"We're thrilled to have Coach Adam Lufkin joining the Big Green track & field coaching staff.  He will bring tremendous energy and enthusiasm to our squad. He's had quite a bit of success at CSU-Pueblo having coached 13 D2 All-Americans in three years. He's familiar with our facilities and the Hanover area having competed here several times while in college. We've had a long tradition of success in the throwing events. I believe that Coach Lufkin will continue that legacy of excellence. Go Big Green!" said Nelson.
Â
Lufkin enters his tenth season of coaching, specializing in the throws.
Â
Previously at Colorado State University-Pueblo, the throwers were responsible for 13 individual All-Americans in the shot put, including 5 National Runner-Up finishes, in 3 seasons.
Â
Before that, he received a degree in child development from the University of Maine, where he threw the discus and the shot put, claiming all-conference honors every year in the America East conference, as well as a first-place finish in the discus in 2018. This qualified him for the Division 1 East preliminary round.
Â
He then spent four years as a high school coach in Maine, accumulating multiple team and individual state New England titles.
