IU assistant coach Mike Erb helped Illinois to the 2013 women's Big Ten Indoor Championship and will now coach jumps and multis at IU.
Erb spent the last year as the head coach at the University of New Orleans and is no stranger to the Big Ten, having spent five seasons (2008-13) as a member of the Illinois women’s track and field staff as an assistant coach, working primarily with field events. The last two seasons, Erb handled coaching duties associated with the men’s high jump, pole vault, javelin and multi-events.
During his tenure at Illinois, Erb coached 10 student-athletes to All-American performances, six to Big Ten individual championships and had nine student-athletes post school-records. In addition, the Illini won the Big Ten women’s indoor team title in 2013. Also in a five-year span, a total of 54 student-athletes coached by Erb have scored points at the league championship events.
