SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga head coach Pat Tyson earned the 2026 Pac-12 Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year award on Monday. The honor follows a conference championship victory on October 30.
Gonzaga placed five runners on the Men’s All Pac-12 teams. Dylan Rowell won Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, and Josh Augustine earned Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
“It is so gratifying to get this honor from my peers, I thank them deeply! Our Zag athletes make it all happen and I just make sure they get there. I’m so grateful for this team and their belief in the running philosophy that I learned from my own college coach Bill Dellinger!” said Coach Pat Tyson.
This is Tyson’s 19th and final season at Gonzaga. The Zags have recorded eight straight Top-10 West Region finishes and Top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championships.
