Devin West is in his second season as the Sprints Coach for Kennesaw State. Working with the track team Coach West is determined to make his roster of talented runners into the best squad of sprinters that KSU has ever had. He has dedicated himself to preparing each one of his athletes to perform at their peek whether it is in the 110m hurdles or the 4x400m relay. Coach West strongly believes this year's team of outstanding competitors can win both the A-Sun Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

Coach West has developed a program for his sprinters that focuses on running form, technique and proper sprint mechanics.

The three phase program takes his runners through different stages of training starting with preseason, then moving to competition and concluding with championship season.
