Assistant Coach Brian Korn joined the NM State Track & Field coaching staff in November of 2021, and primarily works with the throws teams. He has helped oversee the development of multiple NCAA West Region participants in his short time here - including Phetisang Makethe, Emily Birch, Makiya Moore, Miranda Tchetchoua, and Bailey Beene; who also hold spots in the NM State Record Book.Â
From 2017 until his hiring by NM State, Korn called Ypsilanti, Mich., home and served as an assistant coach on Eastern Michigan's men's track & field teams. Through the course of his four seasons on staff with the Eagles, Korn transformed a platoon of mostly walk-ons into one of the best throwing groups in the region.
Before his four-year run in Michigan, Korn was on staff as an assistant coach for the track & field programs at Jacksonville State from 2014-17. Korn mentored his student-athletes to a total of 20 school records while also laying the groundwork for the Gamecocks to produce 23 conference medalists.
The start of Korn's coaching career came at NCAA Division II institution Southwest Baptist where he was installed as the program's track & field strength coach from 2012-14. Under Korn's watch, Southwest Baptist produced school records in eight throwing events while also sending one individual to the NCAA Division II Track & Field Championships.
