Brian Thill, a former collegiate cross country runner who works full-time at the nearby South Carolina Aquarium, joined the College of Charleston cross country staff as a volunteer assistant in August, 2017.
"I really liked what I saw from Brian. He's had good experiences as an athlete, and he's got an obvious drive to try and make an impact for this program. He's got the skills that will help us continue to improve, so we're thrilled to have him," Seago said.
A Minnesota native, Thill formerly ran for the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, majoring in Natural Resource Management. An avid runner, Thill says his daughter, who's begun running for a local club, reinvigorated his competitive spirit and led him to coaching.
"I'm really excited for this chance to learn from Coach Seago and return to a team setting," Thill said. "Working so close by, I've always followed the program from a distance, so to have the chance to start to give back and help these great student-athletes is a great opportunity that I'm very thankful for."
