A part of two NCAA Championships and 14 conference titles in more than a decade at the Division I level, Daniel Stults is now in his second season as assistant coach with the Bradley cross country and track & field programs.
Â
Stults made an immediate impact with the Braves in his first season on campus during the 2018-19 campaign. The BU men’s cross country team qualified for the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history, marking the fourth-straight season that Stults reached the national championship. The Braves also swept the 2018 Missouri Valley Cross Country Championships, while the men set the school records for points at both the MVC Indoor and Outdoor meets and the women more than doubled their point total from the previous season.
Â
A native of Springfield, Illinois, Stults spent three seasons with the nationally-ranked Oklahoma State program as Director of Operations from 2015 to 2018. During his time with the Cowboys and Cowgirls, Stults assisted with all on-campus recruiting activities, helped plan and implement daily practices and served as the race director of the Cowboy Jamboree. He also successfully bid and designed a course for the 2020 NCAA Championship during his second stint with the school.
Â
Stults served as a volunteer assistant coach at Oklahoma State from 2009 to 2012 with the men’s team claiming the 2009 and 2010 NCAA Championships and finishing second in 2011. He ran at Southeast Missouri State from 2004 to 2009 and was a two-time all-conference honoree, while helping the Redhawks to a trio of Ohio Valley Conference Championships.
Â
Stults earned bachelor’s degrees from Southeast Missouri State in economics and psychology in 2009 before completing his master’s in business administration from Oklahoma State in 2011.
