On Tuesday, the official bulletin from the Team USATF informed about Stanley Redwin’s appointment as the track and field coach in the men’s category for the Paris Olympics 2024.

In his 23 years of service at Kansas University, Stanley Redwin has won 5 Big 12 Championships. Side by side, his ultimate achievements have earned him five Big 12 Coach of The Year medallions. Meanwhile, the humbled coach flaunted his mind before donning the national post once again. 

In his relish, the KU HC added, “I am honored for the opportunity and am excited that I get to be around the other coaches from other schools and just to help Team USA get better. Being around those athletes, there’s not a lot that they really need from me, but I will get more out of it than they will.” That almost gave out his achievement in 2022, when Redwin managed to handle Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley on the same ship.

Under his tutelage, Fred Kerley bagged the 100m title. In the same flow, Noah Lyles grabbed the 200m title. In both those events, the American sprinters held the top 3 positions.
