Profile
Brockton native Marc Mangiacotti was hired as Wheaton's assistant men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field coach prior to the start of the 2004-05 season. Mangiacotti, who is the second person to hold this post under eight-time national champion head coach Paul Souza, primarily focuses on sprints, hurdles and relays. He is also responsible for game management in the fall.
Mangiacotti returned to his roots following five years in Houston, Texas, where he spent three seasons as the assistant cross country and track and field coach at the University of Houston and two seasons in the same working capacity at Sam Houston High School. At the University of Houston under head coach Leroy Burrell, who is a former world record holder in the 100-meter dash, Mangiacotti was involved in all facets of running a Division I cross country and track and field program. He was mentored by legendary coaches Tom Tellez and Mike Takaha.
Alongside Burrell, Mangiacotti devised daily workouts while having a hand in recruiting, meet management, team budget and team travel. While coaching at Houston, he also earned a master's degree in sports administration in the spring of 2002. At Sam Houston High School, Mangiacotti not only coached cross country and track and field but also taught physical fitness and instructed the student referral center.
Prior to moving to Houston, Mangiacotti began his coaching career at nearby Bridgewater State College. A USA Track & Field (USATF) Level I and II certified coach in sprints, hurdles, relays, jumps and combined events, Mangiacotti assisted Bridgewater in both cross country and track and field during the 1998-99 season. With the Bears, he worked primarily with the runners and jumpers.
A 1998 graduate of Bridgewater State, Mangiacotti earned a dual bachelor's degree in elementary and physical education. As an undergraduate, he was a four-year member of the cross country squad and indoor and outdoor track and field teams. Mangiacotti garnered All-New England laurels in track and field his senior season and was also named to multiple Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) All-Conference teams in track and field and cross country.
