Austin Roark was named the National Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year for the 2022 NAIA Indoor Track & Field season. Roark, in his eighth year as assistant coach at Indiana Tech, saw his athletes shine at the 2022 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships. His proteges scored 47 points in Brookings, South Dakota, which would have ranked them third overall in the team standings alone. The Warriors swept the horizontal jumps thanks to Destiny Copeland’s double and added the high jump crown to their ledger as well thanks to Jaunita Webster-Freeman. His athletes dominated the Descending Order List during the regular season and gave Indiana Tech the top-ranked #EventSquad in the high jump, long jump, triple jump and pentathlon.
