Wisconsin cross country coach Mick Byrne is being honored as the men’s Big Ten Coach of the Year.
Byrne was selected through a unanimous vote by the conference’s head coaches. He helped Wisconsin to its tenth Big Ten title since he became the Badgers’ head coach in 2008, leading Wisconsin to the 51 Big Ten Championship in program history and third in as many years last weekend.
Byrne is now a 10-time Big Ten Coach of the Year, with all 10 of those honors coming in the last 13 seasons.
Michigan State’s Lisa Breznau was named the women’s Big Ten Coach of the Year for the first time after the Spartans won the Big Ten women’s title last week.
