Shippensburg University's Dave Osanitsch was named the 2022 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Men's Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the Year on Tuesday afternoon. It is the 12th consecutive season that Osanitsch has been named the PSAC Men's Outdoor Coach of the Year. Voting is conducted by the conference's head coaches.
 
Osanitsch remains the most decorated coach in any sport in PSAC history, having now won 43 PSAC Coach of the Year awards spanning men's and women's indoor and outdoor track & field since 2006. He has now won the PSAC Men's Outdoor Coach of the Year award in 13 of his 17 seasons at Shippensburg.
 
Osanitsch, who was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Atlantic Region Men's Outdoor Coach of the Year last week, guided the Raiders to their 13th consecutive conference championship in 2022, extending a league-record streak. SU won 10-of-21 events and totaled a team score of 200 points, marking only the sixth time in league history that a team has scored 200 or more points at a conference meet.
 
Also at this year's conference championships, Shippensburg scored in 19 of the 21 contested events and swept the major awards (Outstanding Track Athlete Aaron Arp Jr., Outstanding Field Athlete Pat Maloney, Most Valuable Athlete Stephon Brown). SU was consistently ranked atop the Atlantic Region this season per the USTFCCCA's weekly performance charts, and the Raiders finished with two NCAA Championships qualifiers – Arp in the 400 meters and Drew Dailey in the 800 meters.
 
The other major men's award winners in 2022 were Seton Hill's Sam Hartman (Track Athlete of the Year), Slippery Rock's Dalton Anderson (Field Athlete of the Year) and Slippery Rock's A.J. Virata (Freshman of the Year).
