Assistant Coach Ed Moran

09/01/00

- Ed Moran is in his third season on the William and Mary staff after a spectacular collegiate career that saw him earn four All-America honors in the 5,000m outdoors (2003, 2005) and in cross country (2000, 2002) for the College. In addition to assisting with both the men’s and women’s running programs, the 2003 graduate has continued to race under the tutelage of head men’s coach Alex Gibby, achieving the Olympic “A” qualifying standard at 5,000m and 10,000m in 2007 and winning the 5,000m gold medal at the Pan-American Games.

A professionally-sponsored runner with Nike, Moran raced unsponsored at the 2005 USAT&F Track and Field Championships shortly after earning his fourth All-America nod. He boasted an impressive debut, running well below his previous personal record in the 5,000m (13:39.70, second-best in school history, set a scant month-and-a-half earlier) to finish in 13:25.87. This time placed him only 49 hundredths of a second shy of the school record, running as the fastest amateur in the field of 24 runners. In 2007, he won the gold medal at the Pan-American Games with a meet-record time of 13:25.60, and will compete for a spot at the Beijing Olympics in the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.

In his six-year collegiate career, Moran racked up three all-conference and All-Southeast honors (never finishing worse than third), and was twice conference champion and Athlete of the Year in cross country. On the track, he earned multiple all-conference nods, was named the 2003 CAA Male Athlete of the Year and was the 2005 IC4A and CAA champion in the 5,000m.
