About camp director Rod DeHaven

SDSU Head Cross Country and Track & Field Coach Rod DeHaven achieved his fair share of success as a coach and as an athlete. DeHaven earned Summit League Coach of the Year four times (Women-2008, Men-2009, 2010, 2012) after his cross country squads took home conference titles.

Entering his tenth season as head coach in the fall of 2013, DeHaven's teams own four conference cross country titles, during which distance runners set nine school records on the track.

As a student-athlete at SDSU, DeHaven excelled in cross country and on the track from the 800 to 10,000-meters. He still holds school records at 800 and 1500-meters outdoors and 800-meters, 1500-meters and the Mile indoors. He won multiple North Central Conference titles including four straight in cross country.

As a post-collegian, he ran competitively nationally and internationally for 14 years, highlighted by a win in the 2000 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials that qualified him for the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
