Brian Maty joined the Bradley cross country and track & field coaching staff in December 2021 as the program’s assistant coach.

Maty made an immediate mark in his first track season on The Hilltop. Bradley runners claimed nine conference track titles in his first season on campus, while the Bradley women also set school records for most points at the Missouri Valley Conference meet, tallying 70 at the 2022 Indoor Championship and 84 points at the 2022 Outdoor Championship.

Prior to joining the Braves, Maty spent the 2021 fall semester as a graduate assistant at Eastern Illinois. The EIU men’s and women’s cross country teams both posted record-setting seasons with Maty’s assistance, highlighted by sweeping the Ohio Valley Conference individual cross country titles. The Panthers boasted a total of nine All-OVC performers (six men & three women) in addition to setting school records in the women’s 6K and men’s 8K.

The EIU men’s team also claimed the OVC title, with Dustin Hatfield going on to become the first NCAA Championship qualifier from Eastern Illinois in 20 years. On the women’s side Lindsey Carlson became the first female all-region performer in school history, following a 20th-place individual finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championship.

A native of Palos Heights, Illinois, Maty graduated from Loras College in 2021. He spent the 2020 indoor track & field season as an intern at the University of Portland where he assisted with videography, recruiting, coaching, social media management and home meet set up. Maty’s indoor season with the Pilots was highlighted by a school record in the men’s mile (3:59.61).

Maty’s first venture into coaching came in the summer of 2019 as a volunteer at Downers Grove North High School.

In January 2019, Maty completed an externship under Danny Mackey and the Brooks Beasts Track Club in Seattle, Washington, that featured instruction on running physiology and biomechanics, along with focusing on the facets of marketing such as brand advertising and social media management.
