Kevin Lucas ('01)
All-American
Lucas was a 15-time All-Conference honoree and All-American sprinter for the men's track & field program in the late 1990s and early 2000s. As a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC), he was a two-time champion in the 200-meter and 400-meter dashes as well as the 4-x-400-meter relay. When WC made its move to the OAC, Lucas continued to excel, setting a then-OAC record in the 400-meter dash indoors (49.31 seconds). Together with Doug Wolf, Greg Morrow and Greg Starks, Lucas earned All-American honors by crossing the finish line in fifth in the 4-x-400-meter relay at the 2001 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Since his days as a student-athlete, Lucas has built an impressive coaching career with stops at Heidelberg University, Salisbury University and the University of Mount Union, his current role. A three-time National Coach of the Year, Lucas has led the Purple Raiders to 45 combined OAC titles and three men's national championships including sweeping the indoor and outdoor titles in 2018.
