He’s back in the college ranks.
Former Coupeville High School cross country coach Luke Samford has been tabbed as the new Assistant Athletic Director for Bethany College in Kansas.
An NCAA D-1 athlete himself, he coached college athletes for seven seasons before taking over the Wolf harrier program.
In his one season at the helm, Samford helped build a recently revived Coupeville cross country program, with Catherine Lhamon advancing to the state meet.
After also working as an assistant track and field coach at CHS, he and wife Hayley left Whidbey in mid-2020 to pursue career opportunities in Kansas.
After departing Coupeville, Samford worked as a high school pole vault coach and held a position in the Student Success Center at Bethany College.
The NAIA school, located in Lindsborg, Kansas, fields 20+ athletic teams.
