NEW ORLEANS, March 17, 2022 – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA) revealed its Regional Athletes and Coaches of the Year for the 2022 NCAA Division I Indoor season, where Howard University Director David Oliver won the Mid-Atlantic Region Women's Coach of the Year award.

The announcement came Thursday afternoon.
 
Oliver, in his fifth year at his alma mater, led the Bison to the team title at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Indoor Championships with a meet record 184 points. This was the first team title since 1989.
 
"It's always great to have your achievements be recognized by your peers," Oliver said. "But this wouldn't be possible without the dedication and commitment of the amazing student-athletes, which I have the pleasure of working with daily. This award is truly a testament to them and my staff."
 
Oliver coached six event champions in the 60-meter dash, 60-meter hurdles, 400-meter dash, long jump, pentathlon and the 4×400 relay squad, which broke the conference record in 3:38.18.
 
Member coaches voted on these honors following the completion of the 2022 NCAA DI Indoor Track & Field Championships in Birmingham, Ala., but considered performances from both that meet as well as during the regular season.
