Renny Waldron
Assistant Coach
First season at NU: 2006-07
Alma mater: Massachusetts

The 2008-09 season is Renny Waldron's third on the Northeastern staff as cross country coordinator and distance coach. Waldron works primarily with the men's and women's middle- and long-distance runners while overseeing all cross country activities. Waldron's coaching approach is very individualized and stresses progressive aerobic development and periodized training. Every athlete has shown improvement under Waldron's tutelage over the past two seasons.

In Waldron's first season on staff in 2006-07, Kristie Gagnon set the NU record for the indoor 5,000 (18:11.32) and outdoor 10,000 (37:14.86). That progress continued in 2007-08 as Gagnon broke her own record in the indoor 5,000 (17:40.99) and Brittany Moriarty broke the 23-year-old Northeastern record in the outdoor 1,500 with her time of 4:33.72 at the CAA Championship in 2008. The Huskies' men's distance runners have also shown marked improvement.

Prior to NU, Waldron coached at Cambridge Rindge & Latin for three years. During those three years, Waldron guided the track teams to several undefeated seasons and championships. The Rindge & Latin cross country team finished fifth in the All-State meet in 2005. In high school, Waldron was a two-time Massachusetts Div. I champion in the mile and two-mile and led his teams to two state championships. Those accolades earned Waldron a scholarship at national powerhouse Iona College. He later transferred to Massachusetts.

Waldron has served as counselor and staff coach at Nike Green Mountain Running Camp in Lyndonville, Vt. for several years. He has also served as advisor and organizer for the New England Chapter of USA Track & Field. He is certified as a USATF Level 1 coach.
