Clive Roberts Position: Assistant Coach (Sprints, Jumps) College: Central Michigan University, 2003

Clive Roberts enters his second season as an assistant coach for the Bowling Green State University women's track team. His specialization includes coaching the sprints, hurdles, multis and high jump.

In his first year, Roberts guided several of his sprinters to some of the top conference honors. During the indoor season, he guided sprinter Jessica White to a school record breaking performance in the 60-meter dash (7.53 seconds). She was the fifth place finisher in the 60-meter dash at the indoor conference championships, as well as the sixth place finisher in the 200-meter dash. He also guided White to the medal stand outdoors at the MAC Championships, with a third place performance in the 100-meter dash. He guided white to the second fastest time in the 100-meter dash (11.58), qualifying for NCAA Regionals, becoming the first sprinter since 2004 to qualify for the Falcons. Roberts also successfully guided a hurdler, Nicole Standback to a very successful season. Indoors, she finished third in the 60-meter hurdles at the MAC Championships, her highest finish since her freshman season in which she was third. Outdoors, he helped Standback to a third place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at the conference championships and her fastest time (!4.03 seconds) in over two years as well as the third fastest time in BGSU history.

The 2005 season was a banner year for Roberts at Central Michigan and his corps of sprinters and hurdlers, highlighted by the men's team winning the MAC Indoor and Outdoor team titles. In 2005, Roberts guided MAC Champions, Pierre Vinson and Clarence Glenn to All-American honors at the Indoor NCAA Nationals. At the Indoor conference meet, Roberts coached the top placers in the 60-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter, 60-meter hurdles, and 4x400-meter relay. Vinson also capped off the indoor season by receiving the Most Valuable Participant award at the conference meet. Roberts continued in his winning ways by guiding the sprinters and hurdlers to numerous MAC titles at the Outdoor Championships. Roberts's athletes took the 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter, 110-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles MAC titles home. Outdoors, Vinson once again accepted the Most Valuable Participant award. Roberts capped the 2005 by sending four athletes to the Mid-East Regional. During his stint at CMU, Roberts coached 13 MAC Champions, two Indoor All-Americans, and one USA Track Championship qualifier.

Before his time as graduate assistant for the Chippewas, Roberts competed at CMU as a hurdler where he qualified for nationals during his final year and was MAC runner up in the 60m hurdles. He graduated with a degree in finance at CMU in 2003.

Roberts, a native of Toronto, Canada, was a Canadian Junior Champion in the 110-meter hurdles during his high school career. Roberts currently resides in Bowling Green and has a daughter, Makaylah, 3, and son Quentin, who was recently born in May 2006.
