Sullins was Arkansas' program record holder in the weight and hammer throws (the former since broken in 2021), was a volunteer on the coaching staff the last four years in addition to working in the private sector. “I am thrilled about the addition of Erich Sullins to our team!” Seaton said. “He comes to us after a successful career as a thrower and volunteer coach at Arkansas. Erich's wealth of experience and passion for our sport will make him a valuable asset to our program. Coach Sullins will assist me in coaching our throws group and will also lend a hand to coaching our multi event athletes in the throws." Sullins, in his young career, has already mentored four athletes who were either All-Americans or SEC champions: Daniel Spejcher, Yariel Soto Torrado, Jack Turner and Marcus Weaver. Alongside Ryan Crouser at Arkansas, Sullins also assisted in the coaching of Roje Stona, a 2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist in the discus. Sullins' career competition highlights includes being a five-time USATF Championship qualifier and doing the same in the hammer throw for the 2019 NCAA Finals and 2021 US Olympic Trials. His PR of 74.56m at the USATF Throws Festival in Tucson, Arizona, is the second-furthest of any active coach nationally.
