Cork Hired As Assistant Coach for Endurance Sports at Michigan Tech

HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech athletic director Suzanne Sanregret announced today that Jason Cork
has been hired as an assistant coach for cross country, Nordic skiing and track and field.

“We are excited to have Jason join our programs,” said head coach Joe Haggenmiller. “He is
enthusiastic and hard working and our athletes will really enjoy working with him. Given Jason’s
experience, I feel he can hit the ground running in his new position.”

Cork comes to Michigan Tech after serving as a club coach for the past five years, including the
last four as head coach of the Durango (Colo.) Nordic Ski Club. The Fairbanks, Alaska, native led
the team to three state championships and qualified 19 athletes to the Rocky Mountain Junior
National Team. Of those 17 athletes, seven obtained All-American status a total of 33 times. Under
his leadership, one athlete claimed a junior national title and another competed in two World Junior Championships.

“I’m really excited to be joining Michigan Tech and being back in the Midwest,” said Cork. “I’m
looking forward to working with all the teams and transitioning to working with NCAA athletes. I’m
hoping to help these athletes achieve their goals, both individually and as teams.”
