The Colby Trojans athletic department has announced the hiring of Jason Davis as the new head coach of the Trojan track & field program.

Davis brings more than two decades of collegiate coaching experience to Colby, including multiple head coaching stops across NCAA Division II and Division III institutions. Throughout his career, he has overseen all aspects of collegiate programs including recruiting, athlete development, compliance, budgeting, scheduling, travel coordination, and academic success.

Most recently, Davis served at Earlham College, where he managed all facets of the program while continuing to develop student-athletes both on and off the track.

Prior to Earlham, Davis spent six seasons as the Head Track & Field Coach at Marietta College from 2017-2023. During his tenure, he guided athletes across multiple event areas while managing the daily operations of the program and building strong relationships throughout the athletic department.

Davis also served as the Head Track & Field Coach at Lake Superior State University from 2013-2017, where he directed the NCAA Division II program, led recruiting efforts, and implemented year-round training and athlete development plans.

"We are excited to welcome Coach Davis to the Trojan family," said Colby athletic director Kenny Hernandez. "Jason brings a tremendous amount of experience and leadership to our program. His background at multiple collegiate levels, commitment to student-athlete success, and passion for developing athletes make him a great fit for Colby Community College."

Earlier in his career, Davis held assistant coaching roles at Susquehanna University, Bloomsburg University, Lees-McRae College, and Wilmington College. He also served as the Head Women's Cross Country Coach at College of Mount Saint Joseph earlier in his coaching career.

Among his career accomplishments are multiple conference coaching staff honors, including Landmark Conference Coaching Staff of the Year awards, along with recognition as the 2009 NCAA Southeast Region Division II Assistant Coach of the Year.

"I'm excited to get started at Colby," Davis said. "The foundation is there to build a first-class program. I'm thankful to the administration for trusting me with the program, and I'm excited to work alongside our staff as we continue building something special. It's going to be a fun challenge."

A graduate of Wilmington College, Davis will begin his duties immediately as he prepares the Trojans for the upcoming season.
