Adam Siepiola is entering his third season at the helm of Adelphi University's men and women's cross country and track and field programs. He takes the reins of a cross-country program that has produced 49 all-conference performers, nine team titles and captured four individual conference titles, all since 1996.

Tradition runs even deeper in the track and field program, which has produced 66 NCAA All-Americans, eight top-team NCAA Team finishes (indoor and outdoor), two NCAA titles and one world record.

2007-08 marked Siepiola's second year as head coach. He coached the women to their second straight ECC Cross Country title while putting nine girls on the All-Conference team and being named ECC Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year for the second straight time. He had his first appearance on the national stage when his women's team finished fourth at the Regional meet on the strength of a fourth place individual showing by All-Region performer, Ify Anene, who earned a trip to the National meet where she placed 79th overall. The men placed second at the conference meet and put five on the All-Conference team while going on to place sixth at the Regional. He also had an IC4A All-East performer for the second straight year.

Under head coach Siepiola's direction, he had a freshman qualify provisionally for both the Indoor and Outdoor National Championships in the 800 meter run. The women placed second and the men fourth at the Indoor CTC Championships where collectively he had five conference event winners and four other All-Conference performers. In addition, he coached the school record setting 4x800 relay that ran 7:46.96. Outdoors, the women placed fifth and the men tenth at the CTC Championship meet while picking up three event wins in the process with an additional 11 All-Conference performers. On top of that, at the PENN Relays, he coached the women to two school records in the 4x400 and sprint medley relay while the men's 4x400 relay took home first in the CTC heat.

In Siepiola's first year, both the men and women took home the ECC Cross Country Conference tiles while placing six men and six women on the All-Conference teams and being named ECC Women's Cross-Country Coach of the Year and Men's Cross-Country Co-Coach of the Year. At the Regional meet, the panthers had their best showing in over five years. The men, with the help of an All-Region performer, finished fourth while the women finished a strong fifth, both improving on their 13th place showings the prior year. Siepiola also had a runner win the IC4A University Championship race at Van Courtlandt Park; the first in school history and earning IC4A All-East honors.

On the track, the women and men finished fourth and sixth respectively at the CTC Indoor Championships with nine All-Conference performers. Outdoors the women finished sixth while the men finished seventh. All together, there were ten All-Conference honors.

Siepiola's coaching career began in November 2003 as an assistant with Adelphi's men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field teams. In the fall of 2004 Siepiola added assistant cross country responsibilities, helping the men's and women's cross country teams to identical third place finishes at the conference championships.

During the 2004-05 track and field season, Siepiola's responsibilities included working with the distance program, which produced a conference champion in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the Collegiate Track Conference (CTC) outdoor championships.

In the fall of 2005, Siepiola gained added duties, which included input into the composition and implementation of the training program for both the men and women's cross-country teams. The men and the women again finished third in the conference, while earning five all-conference performances (two men and three women).

After a brief stint with the Hofstra University cross-country program, Siepiola returned to Adelphi University to take over the Head Coaching duties. In addition to coaching, Siepiola is also a competitive runner placing 133rd (2:42:17) in the 2005 NYC Marathon and 127th at the 2006 Boston Marathon (2:39:05). He also owns the course record at the Westchester Half Marathon (1:15:18), and won the 2006 KAC 10-Mile run (57:25).

Siepiola is a member and Level I and II certified coach with USA Track & Field (USATF) as well as the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). He is also a northeast region representative on the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships.

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Siepiola will continue as the Coordinator of Athletic Media Relations, a position he has held for the past three years. He is responsible for the handling of the publications and publicity for Adelphi's 21 varsity sports.

A native of Clinton, New York, Siepiola graduated from St. John Fisher College in 2003 and is currently pursuing an MBA from Adelphi University. Siepiola currently resides in Long Beach, New York.
