Dave Barstis - Head Coach
           Dave Barstis heads the Women's Cross Country team in his second year as head coach. Coach Barstis was signed on to lead both the men and women in the winter of 2007. "Coach Barstis was hired because of his exceptional reputation, drive, and especially his approach to student athletes" says Saints Athletic Director Nathan Walker.

That same year he was the captain of the cross country and track team.  Coach Barstis received a B.S. in computer information systems and business administration from Aquinas College in 1986.
