STORRS, Conn.—Lindsay Crevoiserat joins the UConn cross country, track & field staff as announced by director of cross country and track & field Greg Roy. Crevoiserat will serve as the head cross country coach and as an assistant track & field coach.
"Lindsay is one of the most accomplished scholastic runners in the history of Connecticut and I am excited to welcome her back to her home state," Roy said.
