Brian Pallini begins his second season as an assistant coach with the Marietta College Track and Field program. Pallini will once again coach the Pioneers' throwers in 2010-11.

"I look forward to having continued success this season with not only the throws but the team as a whole." Pallini said.

In 2009-10, Pallini, a member of the OAC Indoor Women's Coaching Staff of the Year, coached an NCAA Division III Championship qualifier in the Discus Throw. He also guided two All-OAC performers at the league's Indoor Championship and one of his student-athletes was named to the Men's Division III All-Academic Track and Field Team by the USTFCCAA.

“Brian brings a unique experience to this staff being a graduate of Marietta,” Stanley said. “He has been a successful athlete within the structure and will now be able to help his teammates from the coaching side. This will allow the throwers to be comfortable with someone they are already familiar.”

Pallini was a four-year letterman in both indoor and outdoor track and field. During his career, he compiled an impressive resume. The five-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference honoree won the OAC’s Weight Throw title in 2008. In 2009, Pallini earned All-America honors after taking eighth place at in the Weight Throw at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. He holds the school records in four events–Shot Put (indoor and outdoor), Weight Throw and Hammer Throw.

“He has worked as hard as any thrower I have coached to be successful and he knows what it takes,” Stanley said. “He is a student of the throwing events in track & field and that will translate to his coaching ability and he get underway with his coaching career here at Marietta.”

The Medina, Ohio, native graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2009. He holds a level I coaching certification from the USATF.
