Matt Durkin joined the coaching staff at the University of
Redlands in July of 2008 as the cross country graduate assistant
coach. In addition to working with the Bulldog harriers, Durkin
serves as an assistant coach for the Redlands track & field
team. He also attends the School of Education in pursuit of his
Master of Arts in Higher Education.
Prior to his arrival at Redlands, Durkin and two of his friends
completed a trans-continental run that stretched from Tybee Island,
GA, to San Diego, CA. The run took 118 days, and Durkin traveled an
estimated 2,788 miles while averaging 24.03 miles per day.
Durkin graduated from the State University of New York-Oneonta in
2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications and a minor
in Sports Management. A four-year member of the Red Dragon cross
country team, he garnered MVP honors during his senior season. In
addition, he competed on the track & field team throughout his
undergraduate career and ran for current Redlands Head Coach Mike
Schmidt, who joined the Bulldog staff in the fall of 2007 following
a four-year career at Oneonta. Durkin capped off his career with an
All-Conference nod in the Steeplechase in 2007.
Hailing from Rensselaer, NY, Durkin strives to become a head coach
at the college level. In his spare time, he enjoys running and
video editing. He currently resides in Redlands.
