August 16, 2019 | Cowboy Cross Country & Track, Cowgirl Cross Country & Track
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State Cross Country and Track & Field is excited to announce the hiring of Stacy Stanush as the new director of operations for the Cowboys and Cowgirls.
Stanush most recently served as the cross country and track and field director of operations at the University of Oklahoma after holding the same position at her alma mater University of the Incarnate Word for three years while attending graduate school.
"I'm looking forward to the amount of growth I will experience, not only within my position but with my staff and student athletes as well," Stanush said.
Stanush graduated magna cum laude from UIW in 2013 with a B.S. in kinesiology and an education minor, and compled her master's degree in administration with a sports management emphasis.
During her collegiate years, Stanush was a three-year captain of the UIW track and field team. In 2011, Stanush was a member of the Lone Star Conference champion 4x400-meter relay and was a member of the school record 4x400-meter relay for the Cardinals in 2013.
After finishing her athletic career with the Cardinals, Stanush took over as the director of operations for the men's and women's track and field teams. During her time at UIW, Stanush was part of the first team that transitioned from Division II to Division I and the Southland Conference.
Stanush was part of the staff that helped produce many Southland Conference champions during her three years as the director of operations at UIW, likewise at OU where she assisted in bringing many Big 12 Champions, All-Americans and school-record holders to fruition during her time in Norman.
For a director of operations, no work day ever looks the same. Stanush's duties will include assisting the coaching staff with on-campus recruitment, handling team travel arrangements and directing home OSU cross country meets, including the 2019 NCAA Midwest Regional and the 2020 NCAA National Championships.
