Plans Designed By Coach Logan Roberts
Logan Roberts enters his second year on the coaching staff at the University of North Carolina, where he works primarily with the cross country squad and middle distance runners. During Roberts' first year at UNC, the men's cross country team reached the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships for just the second time in 21 years after placing second at the 2013 ACC Cross Country Championships. Roberts earned the USATF Level 1 coaching certification in February of 2013 and credits Arthur Lydiard and Jack Daniels as big influences in his training philosophy for long distance plans.
A former Division I track & field and cross country letterman at Baylor University, Roberts recently co-founded Sir Walter Running in March of 2014. The partnership with brother, Sandy Roberts, and local professional running writer/editor Pat Price took off with the inaugural Sir Walter Miler in August of 2014. The event was held at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC, and featured North Carolina state mile records, three sub-4 minute miles and a resurgence of short, fast track races in the Triangle area.
Roberts earned a master's degree in Sport Administration from UNC in 2013 and earned his undergraduate degree from Baylor University in 2011 with a degree in Health Science Studies (Pre-Physical Therapy). During Roberts' time at Baylor, he served as the Big 12 Conference representative on NCAA Division I National Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the NCAA Division I Sport Management/Championships cabinet.
