MILWAUKEE - Timothy Cawley has been named the new track and field assistant coach at UWM, effective Sept. 5, 2001. Cawley will work primarily with the Panther sprinters and jumpers.

Cawley joins the Panther coaching staff after two years at West Virginia University, where he coached one NCAA All-American and two NCAA Championship qualifiers.

Cawley also had a distinguished career as an athlete at the University of Wyoming. He competed at Wyoming in the long jump and triple jump, as well as anchoring the school's 4x100 relay team. He earned All-American status in the long jump in 1998 and qualifed for the NCAA Championships in the triple jump the same year.

"Tim's a student of the sport," head coach Pete Corfeld said. "He's very willing to study his events as well as the others. He's got a strong willingness to be very multi-faceted."

Cawley graduated from Wyoming in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in art education. He received his master's degree in athletic coaching education while a coach at West Virginia. "Tim brings a great knowledge of the sport, both as an athlete and as a coach," Corfeld said. "He has a lot of fire to try to be the best, to move us up to the next level of competition."

While a student at Wyoming, Cawley was the vice president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committe. He was also named to the Western Athletic Conference all-academic team and was named to the University of Wyoming President's List.

"I want to try to help the program as best as I can, and I want to be part of a winning program," Cawley said. "I came here to help the athletes succeed, and not just on the track, but in life in general."
