Caitlin Way enters her first year as a member of the USF track and field staff as an assistant coach. The Mitchell, South Dakota native will be in charge of the throwing events while also holding duties as the teams travel coordinator. 

Prior to joining the USF staff, Way competed at Oklahoma State where she was a five-time All-Big 12 performer while also qualifying for the NCAA Regional meet three straight years. After finishing her career with the Cowboys, Way sits second all-time in the weight throw and third all-time in the hammer throw.

Not only a great athlete, Way was an excellent student, earning three Capital One Academic All-America appointments and was the Big 12's nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. 

Way’s success wasn’t limited to her collegiate career as she was a standout athlete at Mitchell High School in Mitchell, South Dakota where she was the South Dakota Class AA champion and the overall gold medal winner in the discus during her senior season. Her persona-best mark in the discus still ranks as the fourth-best all-time in South Dakota. 

Way received a degree in Physiology from Oklahoma State and minored in Psychology while graduating summa cum laude. Way also served as the FCA chapter president at Oklahoma State during her final two years of school and was awarded a NCAA post-graduate scholarship.
