Nathan Probst is entering his 9th season now leading the sprints and hurdles as an assistant coach for the Flyers track and field team
In his time at Lewis, Probst has coached 7 GLVC Athlete of the Year award winners, 37 first team All-Americans, 63 GLVC champions, 109 All-GLVC selections, & 97 All-Region award winners. He has been an integral part of a dominant era for Lewis University track and field where the women and men have won 19 of the last 32 GLVC championships. Coach Probst was awarded 2021 USTFCCCA women’s Regional Assistant Coach of the Year.
Nathan Probst's career has come full-circle, as he has returned to the Lewis University track and field team as an assistant coach after serving as both a part-time and graduate assistant for the Flyers from 2008-11. His primary responsibilities will be coaching the sprinters, hurdlers and relay teams.
For the past two years, Probst was an assistant track and field coach at Rhodes College, a Division III school, in Memphis, Tenn. While there, the Lynx won two Southern Atlantic Association women's track and field titles and a SAA men's championship in 2013.
Probst, who worked with sprinters and jumpers, also served as the team's strength and conditioning coach. He saw a Lynx quartet break the school-record in the women's 4x100 relay and qualified for the NCAA Championships twice, culminating with an All-America 7th-place finish in 2012. That All-America performance was the first in school-history. He also helped the Lynx break the school-record in the women's 4x400 relay.
In his previous stop at Lewis, Probst worked primarily with the sprinters, hurdlers and relay teams. He helped the Flyer women's track and field team to the 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championship and coached All-Americans in both the 60-meter hurdles and distance medley relay.
Probst, who received his Masters degree in organizational leadership at Lewis in 2011, received his bachelor's degree in political science from Wisconsin in 2007.
While at Madison, Probst was a member of three Big Ten Triple Crown championship teams at Wisconsin, including cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field as well as the 2007 NCAA Indoor track and field championship.
Probst competed primarily in the outdoor 400-meter hurdles and the indoor 400 and 600-meter dash.
