NEW ORLEANS - Temple track and field assistant coach James Snyder has been named the Mid-Atlantic Region Women's Assistant Coach of the Year, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Snyder, in his eighth year at Temple, guided the Owls to podium finishes in every middle- and long-distance event at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships. His group combined for 64 of Temple's 81 points for a program-best third-place finish.
