Shippensburg University Athletics

Neely Spence will serve as a volunteer assistant coach with the team as she completes her undergraduate degree this spring. Spence is currently running professionally and training for the U.S. Olympic Trials in June.

Spence won eight NCAA Division II national championships: six in track & field and two in cross-country. She is an 11-time NCAA All-American and is the only athlete to ever be named the PSAC Athlete of the Year in all of her collegiate seasons in every sport.

During her track career at Shippensburg, she won 17 of 19 PSAC championship races she entered. Her only two losses were second-place finishes in the 1,500 meters, the shortest distance at which she competed. Spence set seven PSAC and four NCAA Division II track & field records, including the all-time NCAA marks in the indoor and outdoor 5,000 meters.
