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 93 all-conference performers, 14 combined team titles and six individual conference titles, all since 1996.

During the 2008 cross country season, in the last attempt before the move to the NE-10, both the men and women captured the ECC Cross Country Titles. He had four men on the All-Conference first team with another on the second team while the women had five on the first team and two on the second. Additionally, he coached the women's ECC Runner of the year, Ify Anene, and was named ECC Men's and Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year. At the Regional meet, the men placed 4th while the women took third. Collectively, he had three All-Region runners, and a national Qualifier (Anene), the second in as many years. She would go on to place 60th at the National meet.

On the track during the 2009 season, his men's squad captured the Indoor CTC Championships by 66 points in impressive fashion without any field events. Both teams combined to take home seven individual conference titles with over twenty all-conference honors. Capping off the indoor season, he had four (three men, one woman) qualify for the indoor national meet. Three competed in their respective events, the first men to qualify since the early `80's.

Rounding out the 2009 season, during outdoors, he produced many conference event winners and top-three finishes while successfully defending the CTC section at the PENN Relays 4x400. Under his direction, he had three qualify for the national meet, while freshman Mychael Fabio qualified and competed at the USA Junior National Meet.

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 88th (2:36:14) in the 2008 NYC Marathon and second at the 2009 Long Island Half Marathon (1:09:53).

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 a masters in education from Adelphi University. Siepiola currently resides in Long Beach, New York.
