Steve Rubin has announced his resignation as the head coach of Case Western Reserve University men’s and women’s track & field. Rubin, who led the program for five seasons, has accepted the position of assistant coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“Steve Rubin did an extraordinary job as our head coach and was instrumental in returning this historically important program to national prominence,” said Director of Athletics Dave Diles.  “In addition, he contributed substantially to the development of our strength and conditioning program that benefits all of our student athletes.  North Carolina is gaining a gifted coach, and we are committed to building on Steve’s great work.”

Under Rubin’s tutelage, the Spartan track & field program produced two NCAA Champions and 11 All-Americans during the past five seasons.
