Bill Falk returns for his 15th season at Miami as one of the most highly regarded track coaches in the nation.
The former head track coach at the University of Rhode Island and a URI Hall of Fame inductee, Falk has been instrumental in the success of Hurricane pole vaulters and decathletes, guiding them to 11 BIG EAST Championships and three All-America honors.
Falk, a three-time New England Coach of the Year, has been the coach of 12 United States Olympic Pole Vault Development Camps and helped guide former UM standout Bill Deering to the 1992 BIG EAST and Melrose game championships as well as a second-place finish at the 1994 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Deering won a total of five BIG EAST pole vault titles including indoor championships in 1992 and 1994, and outdoor titles in 1992, 1993 and 1994. In 1995 Falk guided Ryan Dall to both the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor pole vault championships.
Falk also helped Aaron Moser become one the nation's top decathletes. Moser won BIG EAST decathlon titles in 1998, 1999 and 2000, as well as the BIG EAST pentathlon championship in 1999. Moser earned All-America honors in the decathlon in 2000.
Falk earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1949 before receiving his master's degree in physical education from Columbia University in 1952.
