Michael Moffitt enters his first season leading the Roosevelt cross country and track & field programs in 2025.
Moffitt arrived in Chicago after one season as the assistant coach at Purdue Northwest, a fellow member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. He previously spent three seasons as the Director of Men's and Women's Track & Field/Cross Country at Grace College in Indiana and one season as the head coach at Eastern University in Pennsylvania.
While at Grace, Moffitt turned the program into one of the best in the NAIA, recording the highest rankings for both the men's and women's program in school history. The Lancers rose to as high as No. 3 indoors and No. 10 outdoors on the men's side and No. 15 indoors and No. 23 outdoors on the women's side. As a team, the men won two National Christian College Athletic Association championships and the women won three team titles.
He coached 115 national qualifiers, 83 all-conference performers, 31 conference champions and three national champions as individuals at Grace. Moffitt was also named the NCCAA coach the year five times – three times for track and field and twice for cross country.
During his time in charge at Eastern, Moffitt coached an All-American, two All-Region performers, three conference champions and 18 all-conference performers.
Moffitt's success began as a collegiate athlete at Indiana Wesleyan, where he was a member of the track and field program for four years. During that time, he won eight national championships in the high jump, two in the NAIA and six in the NCCAA, and qualified twice for the USA Track & Field National Championships in the high jump.
Following his time as an athlete with the Wildcats, he stayed at Indiana Wesleyan as a graduate assistant for two seasons. He was a member of the 2019 NAIA Program of the Year where he mentored three national qualifiers and an All-American.
