Madeleine Outman joined the Emory coaching staff prior to the start of the 2010-11 season.  Her responsibilities include working with the Eagles' sprinters, horizontal jumpers, hurdlers, and relays.

During her first season with the Eagles, Outman was named the USTFCCCA South/Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year for the outdoor season, in addition to being part of the University Athletic Association's (UAA) Coaching Staff of the Year for both Indoor and Outdoor track and field.  Under Outman's leadership, the Eagles claimed the conference title for both seasons.

Ten of Outman's athletes qualified for the NCAA Championships during her inaugural season with the team.  In addition, she helped her students win a total of eight individual and three relay conference championships.

Outman joined the Eagles’ program after a standout career as a competitor at Williams College (2005-06 & 2006-07) and as a graduate student at NCAA Division II member Indiana University at Pennsylvania (IUP) during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons.

Outman was a six-time All-American in her two years at IUP (four times at the 2010 NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships)  and 13 times overall. While an undergraduate student at Williams College, she earned seven All-America honors and helped lead her school to the Division III national championship in 2007.

Outman concluded her career as the holder of 12 IUP records covering indoor and outdoor track and field, and also holds the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) record in the outdoor 100 hurdles and the indoor pentathlon, giving her a total of four top marks in the conference. She was the PSAC outdoor champion in the heptathlon, 400 meter dash and 100 hurdles this past spring, adding to titles in the heptathlon and 100 hurdles at the 2009 league meet.  In addition to her impressive array of athletic accomplishments, she served as a volunteer assistant coach for the Crimson Hawks with one of her duties being the design and implementation of strength and conditioning programs for sprinters, hurdlers and multi-event competitors.

Outman was chosen as both the PSAC Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year and the Field Athlete of the Year for the Atlantic Region during her two-year stint at IUP.  At this year’s D-II championships, Outman placed third in the heptathlon, setting a PSAC record with 5,392 points. She also lowered her own school record and set another conference mark in finishing fifth in the 400 hurdles in 58.98 and also took seventh in the 100 hurdles and eighth in the long jump.

At Williams College, she graduated with a double major in psychology and American Studies in 2008.  She recently obtained her master’s degree from IUP in Sociology with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. In addition, Outman was a Graduate Merit Scholarship winner and was awarded a special graduate assistantship with the Mid-Atlantic Research and Training Institute from 2008-10.
