SHE'S THE BOSS
Margaret Gehring is in her first season as the head track and field coach at Macalester.

Previously, Gehring had coached cross country along with track and field teams at both Ohio Wesleyan University and the College of Saint Benedict. During that time, Gehring coached a total of 13 All-Americans and led 23 individuals to the NCAA national championships.

During her six years at the helm of the Ohio Wesleyan programs, Gehring led the track and field team to four North Coast Athletic Conference championships and coached 34 individual NCAC champions, nine All-Americans and 14 national meet participants. She was named the NCAC coach of the year on three occasions. In addition to her coaching role, Gehring taught physical education courses, served one year as the interim associate athletic director and worked on seven university committees.
 
Prior to her time at Ohio Wesleyan, Gehring led the Saint Benedict cross country and track and field teams for three seasons. Under her leadership, the Blazer track and field team turned in three fourth-place team finishes at the MIAC Championships and had 32 All-MIAC performers. Gehring also coached the Blazer cross country team to a second-place finish at the MIAC Championships in 1992.
 
From 1997-1998, Gehring served as president of the NCAA Division III Cross Country Coaches Association after a four-year term as vice president. She was also an executive board member for the United States Track Coaches Association for three years.
 
Gehring earned her doctorate in sport and physical education from Ohio State University in 2002 where her dissertation work focused on the career longevity of Division III track and field coaches. She has been a published researcher in multiple international journals and has presented at national coaches meetings, as well as physical and health education conventions. Additionally, Gehring served as a visiting adjunct faculty at Pacific Lutheran University and the University of the West Indies.
 
She earned her bachelor's in exercise science from the University at Buffalo before completing a master's degree in sport and exercise studies at Smith College. While at Smith, Gehring assisted with the women's cross country and track and field programs for two seasons.
