Daniel Murner - Assistant Coach, Distance / Middle Distance
Dan is the most recent addition to the Tufts coaching staff. He joins the Jumbos
after a very successful career as a captain, All Region, and All American runner
at Amherst College. Most recently, Dan posted the fastest time in the nation last
spring over 10,000m. His 29:45 at the Penn Relays gave him the top seed going into
the National Championships.
Hailing from Crestwood, Kentucky, Dan majored in Political
Science and graduated with honors from Amherst. His move to Tufts opens the doors
to degrees in Philosophy and Classics. He will be a great addition to the Tufts
squad bringing a deep understanding of what it takes to be a national caliber athlete
at a challenging academic institution.
