Coaching Staff
After leading the Golden Eagle cross country and track
and field teams to outstanding accomplishments in 2010-11,
Christopher Asher returns for his 10th season as Cal State L.A.’s
head coach for women’s cross country, women’s indoor track and
field and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field.
Asher led the men’s outdoor track and field team to a
ninth-place national finish, which gives Cal State L.A. consecutive
national top-10 finishes for the first time since 1995-96. The
women’s outdoor track and field team finished third in the California
Collegiate Athletic Association, the women’s indoor team wound up
43rd in the nation and the cross country team finished fourth in the
CCAA for a second straight season.
The highlight of the 2010-11 season came in men’s
outdoor track and field where the Golden Eagles had a pair of
national champions. Giorgio Bryant won the national title in the
long jump and Josh Como won the national championship in the
triple jump. The two championships marked the first time since
1996 that Cal State L.A. had claimed multiple individual national
titles.
The men’s team also claimed seven individual titles at the
CCAA Championships on their way to a second-place finish, its
best since 2008.
The women’s outdoor track and field team got a pair
of All-America performances and finished 29th in the nation while also claiming three individual CCAA
championships on its way to a third-place finish in the conference.
It was a good follow-up to the 2009-10 season when Asher led the men’s outdoor track and field team to a
sixth-place national finish, which was its best since 1998. The women’s outdoor team finished third in the
CCAA and 38th in the nation, the women’s indoor team was 44th in the nation and the cross country team
finished fourth in the CCAA.
That success came on the heels of an outstanding performance in the 2008-09 season. Asher led the women’s outdoor track and field team to a seventhplace national showing, which was its best finish since 1996. The women’s indoor track and field team took 26th in the country and the men’s outdoor track and
field team took 41st in the nation. The women’s outdoor track and field team finished second in the CCAA.
In the 2007-08 season, Asher led the women’s cross country team to its first CCAA championship since 1994 and guided the squad to a second-place finish in
the West Region and a fifth-place national finish. He also led the women’s indoor track and field team to an 11th-place national finish that included a national
championship for triple jumper Omonike Kotey. The men’s track and field team finished seventh in the nation after an impressive second-place showing in the CCAA,
while the women’s track and field team finished third in the conference.
He was named the CCAA Coach of the Year in women’s cross country and the USTFCCCA West Region Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Head Coach of the
Year.
That season was an impressive follow-up to a memorable 2006-07 campaign. Asher led the women’s cross country team to an NCAA Division II West
Region championship, a second-place finish in the CCAA and a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Division II Championships in 2006. The fourth-place finish is the
highest national placing in the program’s history. He also led the 2007 women’s indoor track and field team to a 13th-place national finish. The men’s and women’s
outdoor track and field teams both posted national top-25 finishes. The men placed 21st in the country, while the women wound up 24th.
During his first nine years, Asher has coached four individual NCAA champions: Josh Como in the 2011 triple jump, Giorgio Bryant in the 2011 long jump,
Omonike Kotey in the 2008 indoor triple jump title and April Brown, in the 2006 indoor 60 meters.
Cal State L.A. has picked up 66 CCAA individual titles, including 63 in track and field (41 in men’s track and field and 22 in women’s track and field) during his tenure.
The Golden Eagles earned 10 individual conference championships and 30 All-CCAA awards in men’s and women’s track and field combined in 2011.
In Asher’s nine years as head coach, the Golden Eagles have earned 207 All-CCAA awards (99 in men’s track, 88 in women’s track and 20 in cross
country). The Golden Eagles also had individual CCAA cross country champions in 2002, 2003 and 2007.
Also, the Golden Eagles have earned 77 All-America honors in cross country and track and field since Asher took over as head coach, including five in 2010-11
(one in indoor track and field, two in men’s outdoor track and field and two in women’s outdoor track and field), nine in 2009-10 (one in indoor track and field, five
in men’s outdoor track and field and three in women’s outdoor track and field) and nine in 2008-09 (two in indoor track and field, one in men’s outdoor track and
field and six in women’s outdoor track and field). The Golden Eagles also had 11 in 2007-08 (two in cross country, six in men’s track and field and three in women’s
indoor track and field) and 11 in 2006-07 (two in cross country, five in outdoor track and field and four in indoor track and field).
He has earned four Coach of the Year awards while at Cal State L.A., two of them in the 2007-08 academic year when he was the CCAA Coach of the
Year in cross country and the USTFCCCA West Region Coach of the Year in men’s track and field. Previously, he was named the NCAA West Region Coach of the
Year in women’s cross country in 2006 and in women’s indoor track and field in 2006.
Asher is a Past President for Division II Track and Field for the United States Track and Field Cross Country Association and former NCAA Track and Field West
Region chair. He serves on the USTFCCCA Track & Field Executive Committee as a past-president and is the chair of the Meet Enhancement Committee. He is
also on the USATF Coaches Advisory Committee and, as a member of the committee, has been appointed as a representative on the Zero Tolerance Committee
for both USA Track and Field and the USTFCCCA.
Asher also began his tenure as a member of the NCAA Division II Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Committee representing the West Region in
September.
Before coming to Cal State L.A., Asher served for five seasons as an assistant coach at Cal State Fullerton, where he was responsible for overseeing
sprints, hurdles and relays for both the men’s and women’s teams. His student-athletes earned 19 All-Big West Conference honors, four Big West Conference
individual championships and one USATF Junior National All-America award. Asher was integral in Cal State Fullerton athletes setting more than 20 school records
in his five years with the program.
Asher has also coached several elite athletes, including sprinter Joe Criner, hurdler Derek Knight, former NFL player Reuben Droughns, current Major
League Baseball relief pitcher Sergio Santos (Chicago White Sox), current National Basketball Association player Trevor Ariza (New Orleans Hornets) and 2005
Oakland A’s first-round draft pick Danny Putnam.
Asher competed collegiately at Cal State Northridge from 1994-96. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Pan-African studies from Cal State Northridge in
1998 and his Master’s degree in education with an emphasis in physical education from Azusa Pacific in 2001.

About Jesse Owens Track
Jesse Owens Track in the Billie Jean King Sports Complex is
home to the Cal State L.A. soccer and track and field teams. With
permanent bleacher seating for 5,000 spectators, it also hosts
many other events throughout the year, including the University’s
commencement ceremony each June.
In preparation for the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles,
Cal State L.A. was selected as one of six sites to construct a worldclass training track. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on
January 29, 1982.
The initial surface selected by the L.A. Organizing Committee for
the track was “Recaflex S.” This surface, known for its versatility, is
hard enough to record fast times but still soft enough to allow for a
regular training regiment.
The track was officially dedicated on May 22, 1983, during the L.A.
Regional Championships of the ARCO Jesse Owens Games.

Sandra Farmer-Patrick
It was clear that Sandra Farmer-Patrick would become one of the best American women 400m
hurdlers when, at the age of 14, she set an American Junior record. As a member of Cal State
L.A.’s track and field team from 1983 to 1985, she had many top finishes sandwiched around
an eighth-place finish for her native Jamaica in the 1984 Olympics. Then Farmer-Patrick’s
career really accelerated. In 1987, she just missed a medal in the 400m hurdles at the World
Championships in Rome. As a 400m hurdler for the U.S., she won a silver medal at the 1992
Olympics, gold medal at the 1989 and 1992 World Cups, gold medal at the 1990 Goodwill
Games, and numerous other medals. Competing in glamorous skirt-outfits, she launched a
side career starring in many television commercials. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in
industrial psychology and a master’s degree in human resources. At the 2004 summer Olympic
Games, she served as the lead athlete services coordinator for all sports. She currently chairs
the USA Track & Field’s Athlete’s Advisory Committee and serves as the United States Olympic
Committee’s athlete representative. Farmer-Patrick is married to another Olympic hurdler, David
Patrick. They have a son and a daughter.
