Scott Hutchinson is in his eighth season as the men's track & field and cross country coach at the University of Southern Maine. Prior to coming to USM in the summer of 2005, he was the women's cross country and track coach at Salve Regina University for two years.

            Over the past seven seasons, Hutchinson has guided the Huskies to three Little East Conference indoor championships and three New England Alliance indoor championships, two State of Maine titles, and the program’s best finishes at the New England Division III Championships (5th in 2010) and the ECAC Division III Championships (tied for 2nd in 2010).

            Indoors, Hutchinson has coached four athletes to the NCAA Division III National Championships, including All-Americans Anthony Stanton (2010, high jump) and Ben Manning (2012, 800 meters).  The Huskies have also had numerous LEC and Alliance champions over Hutchinson’s seven-year tenure.

            Since the Little East Conference added its end-of-the-season awards program in 2007-08, eight USM athletes have been the recipient of a major award, and Hutchinson has been selected as the Coach of the Year three times (2008, 2009, 2010).

            In his two seasons at Salve Regina, Hutchinson led the women's cross country team to a third-place finish in 2003 and a second-place result in 2004 at the Commonwealth Coast Conference Championship.  He was named CCC women's cross country Coach of the Year following the 2004 season.  His team was 19th at the 2003 NCAA Regional Championship and 22nd in 2004.

            Prior to his tenure at Salve Regina, Hutchinson was the men's and women's cross country and track and field coach at Babson College for 15 years (1988-2003).  While at Babson, he also served as the operations manager for the college's recreation center and had an eight-year tenure as the athletic department's equipment manager.

            At Babson, Hutchinson coached the men's and women's cross country teams for 15 seasons (1988-2002).  He organized and established the outdoor track program as a varsity program at Babson in 2001 after a ten-year term as a club team.  He coached 13 men to all-conference honors (11 in cross country and 2 in track), including two-time NEWMAC 10,000-meter champion Brian Gagne.  Babson also served as the host institution for the 1998 NCAA Cross Country Regional Championships.  The meet was held on a course designed and developed by Hutchinson.

            A 1986 graduate of the University of Maine at Presque Isle with a bachelor's degree in recreation management, Hutchinson began his coaching career at his alma mater, guiding the men's and women's cross country teams during the 1986 season.  As an undergraduate at UMPI, he was a three-time captain and three-time MVP of the Owls cross country team.  He was an NAIA All-New England runner in 1985 after finishing eighth at the regional championship meet and qualified for the NAIA national championship. He was elected to the UMPI Hall of Fame in 2002.

            Hutchinson is a member of the United States Track Coaches Association.

            Libby Bischof, entering her fifth season as an assistant coach with the men's track and field program, is an assistant professor in the history department at the University of Southern Maine.

            She joined the women's track and field program as the throws coach in January 2008, and took on the added responsibilities of throws coach for the men's team in 2009.

            During her undergraduate years (1995-1999) at Boston College, she competed in the throwing events, and was captain of the team during the 1998 and 1999 seasons.  She was the first woman to throw the hammer over 160 feet, and her hammer throw record of 161 feet, 9 inches stood for 10 years.

            Bischof coached varsity field hockey in Hopkinton, Mass., for six years while attending graduate school at B.C.  She received her master's degree in 2001, and her Ph.D. in 2005.

            Now in his 11th season as an assistant coach with the USM men’s track & field program, Mike Drummey has provided invaluable guidance to the Huskies’ men and women’s pole vaulters.

            One of the top pole vaulters in New England during his collegiate days at Southern Connecticut State University, Drummey won the NCAA Division Two indoor and outdoor pole vault championships in 1995.

            During his tenure with the USM men and women’s track & field programs, Drummey has coached three All-Americans (Wil Snyder, 2004; Melissa Bellemore, 2006; Bethany Dumas, 2011) and 39 Little East Conference champions.
