Posted

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State indoor track & field assistant coaches Ken Harnden and Karen Harvey have been recognized as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) NCAA South Region assistant coaches of the year.

The announcement was made Monday as the Seminoles prepare for the NCAA Indoor Championships meet, March 8-9 at the Randal Tyson Track Complex in Fayetteville, Ark.

This marks the fourth time that both Harnden and Harvey have been selected as top assistants for the region.

Harnden, who was promoted to Associate Head Coach last summer, also serves as FSU’s Director of Sprints, Hurdles & Relays. He was selected South Region Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year for the Indoor season after the Seminoles under his direction piled up 55 points on the final day of the ACC Championship meet, where FSU placed second.

Harvey, who directs the FSU women’s distance group, was selected the South Region Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year after her charges produce 46 of the Seminoles’ 100 points at the ACC Championship meet
