Director of Cross Country & Track & Field Sean Robinson joins Airey Bros Radio to unpack how he’s building Drew University into a Division III contender—after a decorated two-decade run at Morris Hills HS (10 state titles, 21 sectionals, NJSCA Hall of Fame). We cover honest D3 recruiting (why grades = money), the value of liberal arts & internships near NYC, data-driven training with gait analysis, and the mindset shift from “win” to “win or learn.” Robinson also details Drew’s first All-American (Sage Hendershot, 2024), school records, and hosting the Landmark Conference XC meet.You’ll hear about:Building a D3 program from the ground up—staffing, systems, cultureD3 merit aid vs. athletic $$$ and how academics unlock offersCampus/training: “The Forest,” trail access, Madison safety, NYC internshipsManaging athletes in the social-media era: focus > comparisonHands-on coaching: gait analysis, injury prevention, Google Classroom workflows2025 outlook: deeper rosters, first meet notes, and hosting
