Lowell Fisher—Head Coach

As a coach for more than 15 years, Lowell Fisher has fielded many successful cross country and track and field programs at the high school level in New York State. Coach Fisher joined the CIA staff at the beginning of the 2008 season to guide the Steels in the formation of this new intercollegiate program.

As a high school coach in the Hudson Valley region, Coach Fisher has devised a system for winning. He coached two state contending programs that produced many team and individual success stories. Within three years, he led Rhinebeck High School (NY) to its first two-team championships in school history in 1997 and 1998. Those teams were eventually represented at the New York State Championships. While coaching at Millbrook High School (NY), Coach Fisher continued his success with divisional, league, and state championships. His teams have produced individual league, county, state, and federation champions, and many athletes hold school, league, and sectional records.

Along with having a successful program at the CIA, Coach Fisher is also determined to embed the principles of running into the student-athletes so they become passionate lifelong runners.
