Boston University Men's Cross Country

Jon Molz enters his second year at BU as the head coach for cross country and assistant coach for track & field - distance. Molz, who helped the Richmond cross country programs to a combined four Atlantic 10 Championships, made an immediate impact during his first year as head coach of the cross country team, coaching the women's team to a runner-up finish and its lowest point total (36) ever at the Patriot League Cross Country Championships. During the indoor track season, Molz helped the Terriers earn their third-ever Patriot League Indoor Championships title. In the 2024-25 season, the former Richmond coach coached Vera Sjöberg to unprecedented success as she represented the arched Boston at the NCAA cross country, indoor track and outdoor track championships, including finishing as the runner-up in the 5000m at the 2025 NCAA outdoor championships — the best finish ever by a BU or Patriot League athlete at that event. Molz also continued to coach her during the summer as she qualified for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. On top of Sjöberg’s success, Molz coached graduate student Foster Malleck at the 2025 NCAA indoor championships.

Grant Cartwright is entering his second year as the director of track & field and cross country and his seventh season leading the throws program, where he has coached the group to unprecedented success. Since arriving at BU, Cartwright has led both the men's and women's throwers to their first national squad rankings in shot put, discus, hammer and weight throw. The program's top-10 lists for all throwing events have been nearly rewritten during Cartwright's tenure, including a school record in the weight throw. A former four-time All-American at Michigan, Cartwright joined the BU staff in 2019 following one season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. In 2024-25, Cartwright was named Patriot League indoor women's coach of the year after he oversaw a women's program that won its first Patriot League indoor championship since 2016 and finished second at the Patriot League cross country championships and the outdoor championships. During that season, Vera Sjöberg qualified for the NCAA Championships in the cross country, indoor and outdoor seasons and earned three All-America nods. On the men's side, the Terriers finished third at each of the cross country, indoor and outdoor conference championships. Cartwright has led Ellie Roan, Kiana Lino and Owen Faulha to individual titles at Patriot League Championships and has coached five others to podium finishes. In 2022, Lino became the Terriers' first thrower in 19 years to qualify for NCAA Regionals. Roan and Cole Tucker were
