Mark McClure, Men's and Women's Head Track and Field Coach
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT MALONE UNIVERSITY?
13 years.
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO WORK AT MALONE?
I competed at Malone in Track and Field from 1987-1991 under Jack Hazen and have coached at all NCAA levels. I am a Pioneer and really believe in what Division II is all about.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB RESPONSIBILITIES?
I love building relationships with our student-athletes. It’s awesome to meet with future Pioneers and tell them about our program/University.
HOW DO YOU ANSWER WHEN ASKED TO DESCRIBE MALONE'S BRAND OF EDUCATION?
As a Christian university, we seek to develop the whole person during their journey. I think people will be hard-pressed to find another regional university that provides students with a Christ-centered academic experience like you would receive at Malone.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE MALONE STUDENTS?
They are my people! We have a wide variety of students and can easily find something in common with each student. Malone is truly a special place!
HOW HAS WORKING AT MALONE SHAPED YOUR INDIVIDUAL FAITH JOURNEY?
God has always been an important part of my life. I love to work in an environment where I can freely express my beliefs. Malone allows me to do this and that’s why I’m doing what I do.
DESCRIBE YOUR COLLEAGUES AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO MALONE?
Malone has the absolute best staff that I have ever worked with. I enjoy having conversations with my colleagues because it’s evident that all our coaches truly care about each other.
