HAVERFORD, Pa. – Tom Donnelly, head coach of the national champion Haverford College men's cross country team, has made a clean sweep of coach of the year honors after Tuesday's announcements that the Fords' mentor was tabbed for these awards by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) and by the Centennial Conference.

Named the USTFCCCA 2010 Division III Mideast Coach of the Year last week, Donnelly picked up the national honor from the USTFCCCA after leading Haverford to its first national championship Saturday at the NCAA D-III meet in Iowa. His Fords captured the conference title Oct. 30 in Baltimore.

Donnelly's men charged through the postseason winning the conference, region and national meets aided by Anders Hulleberg's trio of first-place finishes that helped the senior earn the Centennial runner of the year, the USTFCCCA D-III Mideast performer of the year and that same organization's D-III national athlete of the year for cross country.

Under Donnelly's 36-year tutelage of the men's program the Fords have made 28 appearances with 14 top-10 finishes at the NCAA meet and produced three individual national champions. Hulleberg joins Seamus McElligott (1990) and J.B. Haglund (2001) on that elite list.

This season was Donnelly's first national title as a coach, but the Villanova grad won three championships (1966, 1967 and 1968) as a runner for the Wildcats.
