Dimit led the Profs to a third-place team finish at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships for the third consecutive season, scoring their most points since 1985 with 44.5. Rowan, which set program records in four events this season, won its tenth-straight team title at the NJAC Championships and amassed 17 All-American awards along with 33 All-Metro Region and 35 All-NJAC honors.
Tate, in his 17th year as assistant coach at Rowan, wins the award for the fourth time and second in a row, oversaw Pros student-athletes breaking NCAA DIII records in two events and added a No. 2 all-time ranking in a third event. His hurdlers, sprinters and horizontal jumpers combined for 29 of Rowan's 44.5 points at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships, led by a 1-2-7 finish in the 110 hurdles.
