Kristin Stam joined the coaching staff at Bloomsburg in 2016 after starting her career at Susquehanna University, followed by a brief stint at Lake Erie College in Ohio. In her first year at Bloomsburg, Stam helped lead the women’s track & field team to historic team finishes (second and third) at the indoor and outdoor PSAC Championships, respectively. Â
As the jumps, sprints, and hurdles coach at Bloomsburg, Stam has guided her athletes to 16 school record performances. She has coached 9 conference champions, 18 All-Region honorees, and led athletes to four NCAA Championship appearances. Two of those national-level showings resulted in All-American finishes for a pair of horizontal jumpers (Kaylee Caruso in 2017 and Kirsten O’Malley in 2019).
Stam graduated from Susquehanna University in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a minor in English. She also holds a master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia University – Irvine, and is certified through the USTFCCCA Academy as a jumps, sprints, hurdles, & relays specialist. A four-year member of the indoor and outdoor track & field teams at Susquehanna, Stam competed in a wide range of events including the jumps, hurdles, and heptathlon. Stam was a three-time school record holder in the long and triple jumps, and was named an All-Academic honoree during her senior year.
Coach Stam first fell in love with coaching during her time volunteering for her former high school track team in her hometown of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. She resides in Bloomsburg with her four-legged family members: Jovi, Dash, and Dapper.
