Houston-bred, Liz studied at and ran CC and Track for UT. While there, Liz was a seven-time
conference champion, five-time All American and four-time NCAA Champion. She competed in
events ranging from the 800 meters up to the 5K. On three separate occasions, Liz pulled off the
“double,” or back-to-back conference titles in the 800 and 1500/mile with less than an hour of
rest in between races. She capped off her senior year in 2000 by earning Big 12 Indoor Athlete of
the Year and winning a title at the prestigious Penn Relays. After graduation, Liz ran post-
collegiate for Asics and competed in multiple national and international meets, including the
NACAC Championships in Mexico, the Ekiden in Japan and competing at the 2000 Olympic
Trials where she placed 7th in the 800 meters finals and came home with three PR’s. Nowadays,
she keeps it local and has started competing in triathlons. For fun.
Liz has been coaching in Austin since 2000, helping athletes of all abilities. She was Assistant
Volunteer Coach for UT for a year before working with the SMU Cross Country girls’ team. In
2005 she began coaching marathoners and ½ marathons. She is excited about being part of the
St. Andrew’s family. On weekends, Liz can be found either running or biking around Austin or
swimming at Barton Springs Pool (her favorite place in town!). She loves traveling to Colorado
with her husband Jeffrey and their two dogs and can’t wait for her next adventure! Go CRU!
