Hall by the Numbers Tim Hall is in his fourth season as a member of Clemson's track & field coaching staff. Hall, who is in charge of coaching the short sprints and sprint relays for Clemson's male and female athletes, has had a major impact on the Tiger program in his first three years on the job. Clemson has captured ACC championships in women's indoor and outdoor track & field in each of the last two seasons with Hall on the staff. The women's team has had four straight NCAA top-20 finishes as well, culminating with a seventh-place effort at the 2011 outdoor national meet. Hall's groups have been major parts of Clemson's success over the past two years, particularly on the women's side. His groups have claimed 14 ACC event titles in his three years with the program, including 10 in women's track & field alone the last two seasons. In 2011, sprinter Stormy Kendrick was the ACC's Most Valuable Track Athlete both indoor and outdoor after winning titles in the 60, 100 and 200. She also led the indoor 4x400 relay and the 4x100 relay to their second straight conference crowns. On the men's side, he coached Justin Murdock to NCAA qualification in the indoor 60, and the outdoor 100 and 200 last season. He also played a role in helping the men's 4x400 relay to an indoor/outdoor sweep of ACC titles. During the 2010 outdoor season, Hall's 4x100 relay took home an ACC crown and a fourth-place national finish at the NCAA meet in Eugene, OR. The group was comprised of first-time All-Americans Michaylin Golladay and Kristine Scott, as well as indoor mile relay All-American Jasmine Edgerson. The fourth member of the relay was Kendrick, the ACC's Outdoor Freshman-of-the-Year. Kendrick's ultimate accomplishment came at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships, where she captured gold medals in the 200 dash and 4x100 relay for Team USA. Her individual victory was just the second individual crown at the World Junior Championships by a Clemson athlete. Hall's athletes have made quite an impression on the Tiger record books. Kendrick is atop the Clemson record books in the 60 and 100, while moving into the school's top five in both the indoor and outdoor 200 dash. His women's 4x100 relay broke the school record at the NCAA Championships in the spring of 2011 as well. On the men's side, he coached ACC record-holder Jacoby Ford in the 60 dash. He and Murdock also own two of the top five times in the 100 dash in Clemson history, quite an accomplishment considering the sprint program's decorated history. Hall took Ford to the pinnacle of the sport in 2009, his first year at Clemson. With Hall's guidance, Ford captured the NCAA championship in the 60 dash, his first and the ninth individual indoor crown for the men's track & field program at Clemson. Ford, now a standout for the NFL's Oakland Raiders, put together one of the most amazing seasons in the history of Clemson's storied sprint program. Ford won ACC championships in both the 60 (with ACC record time 6.51) and 100 dash events, while also leading the Tigers at the NCAA East Regional with a championship in the 100 dash and as anchor leg for the 4x100 relay. Due to the success of Ford and the men's 4x100 relay, Hall was named Southeast Region Men's Assistant Coach-of-the-Year for the outdoor season by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). It was a fitting honor for the man who guided Ford to the second-best time in Clemson history in the 100 dash (10.01) and the 4x100 relay to a school-record time of 38.77 and third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Hall was an assistant for Charlotte from 1996-2008, and served the program as its associate head coach his final three years. During his time with the 49ers, his groups repeatedly re-wrote school and conference records. Hall was also instrumental in helping Charlotte to numerous team championships, first in Conference-USA and then in the Atlantic-10. In his final season with the 49ers he coached Lamarra Currie, who earned conference crowns in the 100, 200, and 4x100, was named women's Most Outstanding Performer. She was also an NCAA qualifier in two events and CoSIDA first-team Academic All-American. He coached Ebonie Cunningham to a championship in the 400 dash and 4x400 relay. She was named A-10 Rookie-of-the-Year. On the men's side, Darius Law won the 200 and 400 and was named both A-10 Rookie-of-the-Year and Most Outstanding Performer for his efforts. In total, Hall's athletes captured 24 event championships in just three years as a member of the Atlantic-10. His most decorated athlete while at Charlotte was Shareese Woods, a four-time USTFCCCA All-American. Woods was 2007 A-10 women's Most Outstanding Performer and won four individual conference championships during her time with the 49er program. Hall coached her to a gold medal with the 4x100 relay at the 2006 NACAC Under-23 team. Woods went on to have great success in 2008 after finishing her collegiate career. She was USA Track & Field's 400 indoor champion in 2008, and was also bronze medalist in the same event at the IAAF World Championships. Hall also guided Courtney Patterson to All-America honors with the 49ers' women's team. She earned the honor in the 100 dash in 2006. Patterson was also two-time Atlantic-10 champion in the 100 dash and 4x100 relay (2006, 2007) and All-East Region in the 100 both years as well. Hall was tabbed East Region Assistant Coach-of-the-Year for women's sprints, hurdles, and relays in 2006 after leading Charlotte to a banner year behind the strong performances of Patterson and Woods. He coached the school's first-ever All-Americans in the sprints, both male and female. Derrick Johnson earned the honor in the 60 dash in 2005, while Woods was the program's first female All-American in 2006. Johnson was also 2002 Conference-USA Freshman-of-the-Year under Hall's tutoring. Prior to his time with Charlotte, Hall was the head coach for the Queen City Striders AAU Track Club for six years. In 1995, the Striders earned 36 medals at the AAU Junior Olympic Games under Hall's guidance. Hall graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from South Carolina State in 1994. He was a three-time captain for the Bulldogs' track team and an All-MEAC performer as well. He holds a Level II coaching certification with specialization in sprints, hurdles, and relays. Hall is married to the former Adrean Byers. The couple has two children, TeAnna (22) and Timothy Jr. (7). |
