FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Fayetteville State University Athletics has announced Tyreece Brown as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach for the upcoming 2015 season. This will be Brown’s first collegiate head coaching opportunity. Brown has worked with FSU Athletics since his appointment as assistant women’s basketball coach in 2012. He was named athletics facility manager in 2014. Brown has been a volunteer assistant for cross country in previous seasons.
“The focus of the program is to compete at a championship level,” said Brown. “Our team this year is full of strong, motivated runners. Our student-athletes have been pushing themselves and each other in preparation for this upcoming season. Our program definitely has a championship mindset.”
Brown is a native of Philadelphia, PA and a 2008 graduate of Fayetteville State. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. Brown later completed his master’s degree in Business with a Leadership concentration from Liberty University in 2013.
He was a two-year starter for the men’s basketball program and former cross country student-athlete. Brown served as a captain on the 2005 FSU men’s basketball team, which advanced to the CIAA Championship Game. In his role with women’s basketball, Brown is primarily responsible for backcourt development and recruiting.
FSU men’s and women’s cross country have five meets scheduled before the 2015 CIAA Championships. Both teams open the season on September 4th at the Catawba College/Chik-Fil-A Invitational held at Salisbury Community Park in Salisbury, NC.
