Vaughn Davis began coaching at the University of Dayton when the Flyer track program began in 1996, but his outstanding career in track and field goes back almost 40 years. A native of Alliance, Ohio, Davis was a three-time All-American thrower for Mt. Union College, and is a member of that school's Athletic Hall of Fame. From 1969 to 1975, he was ranked among the top 30 throwers in the United States. Since coming to UD, Davis has coached 15 Atlantic 10 Champions. More recently, Davis coached current student-athletes Johnna Zaccari and Sarah Allen, who won Conference shot put titles at the A-10 Indoor and Outdoor Championships, respectively and were also named First Team All-Atlantic 10. Under his direction, seven Flyers have won A-10 indoor shot put titles including Zaccari in 2008, Kelly Pohlman in '06, '05 and '04 and Jodi Borges in '00, '02, and'03. In addition, a Flyer has won six of the last seven outdoor shot put titles. Davis also helped lead Borges to two A-10 discus titles in 1999 and 2000. Davis began his coaching career at the high school level, and coached two prep All-Americans in the late 1970's. He coached at Ohio State from 1983 to 1995, and had six All-Americans and nine Big 10 champions, including Kevin Adkins, who was ranked #1 in the world at one time. Davis now lives in Cincinnati, where he is an attorney. |
