Colin Boevers’ first season with the Miami women’s track and field program bore immediate fruit on the national level and he will be part of the RedHawks’ newly combined program in 2015-16.
In his first year in Oxford, Boevers helped Amelia Strickler take a dramatic step forward in her development as a junior. Strickler, who made it to the NCAA East Region Preliminary meet each of her first two seasons, rose into national prominence in 2014-15. Under Boevers’ tutelage, Strickler made her first appearances at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, earning Second-Team All-American honors by finishing 15th and 12th, respectively, in the shot put.
Boevers’ throwers rewrote Miami records in 2014-15, with Strickler breaking both the indoor and outdoor shot put records and Arionna Darling moving into the outdoor top 10 in the same event.
A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Boevers served as a volunteer coach at Oklahoma during the 2013-14 season. He worked one-on-one with student-athletes under the direction of the Sooners' throwing coach Brian Blutreich. He also served as the lone on site throwing coach for OU at three meets, including the USA Track and Field Championships, that season.
Boevers was a standout student-athlete at Kentucky, where he won a pair of Southeastern Conference titles in the discus in during the 2010 and 2011 outdoor seasons. He also earned All-American honors in both seasons in the discus. He cracked the Wildcats' all-time Top-10 list in both the discus and hammer throw. He was also named to the Academic All-SEC team and inducted into the Frank G. Ham Society of Character in 2010.
Boevers graduated from Kentucky in 2011, earning a Bachelor of Science in Community Communications and Leadership Development.
