The University of Tulsa cross country and track head coach Steve Gulley appointed Mollie Dalton to the Golden Hurricane coaching staff as an assistant coach at the start of the 2023-24 school year. She primarily works with women’s distance runners.
Dalton comes to Tulsa after serving one year as an assistant cross country and track coach at Illinois State University. In her lone season with the Redbirds, Dalton coached four NCAA West qualifiers, helped the women to indoor and outdoor Missouri Valley Conference championships, and the men to a second-place indoor finish.
Prior to joining the Redbirds, Dalton spent three years as an assistant coach at Elmhurst University, supporting the men’s and women’s cross country and track programs. She served as a graduate assistant for a year before her promotion to assistant.
In 2021, she assisted the Elmhurst women as they captured their first cross country CCIW team title in 18 years. She and the other coaches were recognized as the College Conference of Wisconsin and Illinois Coaching Staff of the Year for 2021 cross country and 2022 indoor track and field.
In her first season as an assistant, Dalton helped lead the women’s cross country team to its highest conference and regional finish in 15 years, placing third at the CCIW and ninth at the Midwest Regional.
As a graduate assistant, she helped in the development of five all-conference runners, a conference champion and one CCIW Runner of the Week.
Dalton graduated from Lewis University in 2017 with a degree in sports management and earned her master’s in business administration at Elmhurst. While at Lewis, Dalton lettered in both cross country and track for distance running, receiving USTFCCA All-Academic recognition in 2015 and the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award her senior season.
She was a four-time Great Lakes Valley Conference all-academic team selection and received the Br. David Delahanty Award each year, which is given to Lewis student-athletes for academic excellence.
