Adrian, Mich. – Adrian College Athletics is proud to announce the appointment of Kaylie Laskody as the Head Coach for its Track and Field program. A former collegiate athlete and dynamic student leader, Laskody brings a wealth of energy, experience, and vision to the program, having served as the Assistant Coach of Track and Field & Cross Country at Adrian.
Laskody is a 2023 graduate of Alderson Broaddus University, where she earned dual majors in Exercise Science with a focus in Physical Therapy and Prosthetics, complemented by minors in Psychology and Strength and Conditioning. She is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Sports Management at West Virginia University.
A standout student-athlete herself, Laskody competed for four years on the Alderson Broaddus Track and Field team, culminating her senior year as team captain. Her leadership extended far beyond the track, serving as both the Student Body President and Senior Class President during the 2022–2023 academic year. Recognized for her dedication and impact on campus, she was awarded the Outstanding Senator of the Year for 2021–2022.
"We had a good season, even with battling some injuries throughout we really had some breakout performances and even saw some records fall and a few medals come home after our conference meets," added Laskody. "We laid a really solid foundation this season to be able to help us continue building our program in a positive direction. We are really excited for our returners and the incoming freshman class to continue helping us make an impact on the conference.
With starting this position, I'm excited to get to work and really see the potential of our team shine through and really show what the Bulldog Mentality is."
In addition to her competitive background, Laskody has actively contributed to high school track programs as a volunteer coach across multiple event groups. Her coaching experience and strong communication skills make her a well-rounded asset to a department that is proud to have her on board.
Adrian College looks forward to a successful future under Coach Laskody's leadership. The Morgantown, West Virginia native will begin her head coaching duties effective immediately. She will remain on the Cross Country staff as an Assistant under Miles Caine.
