Douglas Marshall, Iowa Western CC: 2021 NJCAA Women’s Indoor Track & Field National Coach Athlete of the Year

Marshall, in his third year as head coach of the Reivers, led his team to a thrilling victory at the NJCAA Indoor Championships. Needing to finish at least third in the meet-ending 4×400 relay for a share of the title, Iowa Western CC won the event outright by more than one second with Nickisha Pryce on the anchor and walked out of the Robert W. Plaster Center as champions. The Reviers totaled 117 points with six event champions – 400, mile, 3000, 5000, 4×400, high jump – and top-8 finishes in 16 events, including those just mentioned. Earlier in the season, Iowa Western CC also won the team title at the NJCAA Region XI/ICCAC Indoor Championships with 238 points.
