Favor-Hamilton, Winckler Key Coaches' Clinic

Three-time Olympian Suzy Favor-Hamilton and three-time NCAA Coach of the Year Gary Winckler will headline the revamped Minnesota Track & Field Coaches Association Clinic set for Friday and Saturday, January 28-29 at the Bloomington Sheraton Convention Center.

Favor-Hamilton, a Stevens Point, Wisconsin native who raced to nine NCAA middle distance titles for the University of Wisconsin, will discuss motivation at a clinic session, make the keynote address to the Minnesota State Track and Field Coaches' Association meeting and banquet, and lead a fun run during the weekend.

Winckler, who has mentored 13 Olympians and coached USA teams at the IAAF World Indoor and World Outdoor Championships, will give four separate talks on hurdling and sprinting during the clinic.

More than three-dozen coaches and athletes will offer their insights at the clinic, including Olympic shot putter Ron Backes, University of Minnesota men's throws coach Lynden Reder, and U.S. Military Academy coach Troy Engle.
