Since Coach E. joined the Brown Track and Field coaching staff in 2000, the throws program has redefined itself as the premier squad in the league. In 2000, the throws team consisted of only three athletes. This year the squad will consist of 14 of the best throwers in the Northeast. Coach E’s throwers have earned 33 All-Ivy honors, 20 Ivy titles, 4 school records, 11 individuals have qualified for the NCAA regional championships, 5 for the NCAA championships and two have earned NCAA All-American Honors: In 2001 Amber Knighten placed 5th in the women’s shot put and in 2009 Craig Kinsley placed 3rd in the men’s javelin throw. Last year, Eisenreich’s successes were recognized by her peers by being awarded USTFCCCA Men’s Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
In 2006, Eisenreich successfully took over the training of the multi- events as well. In 2008, Natasha Smith (’11) brought two Ivy championships back to Brown in the indoor pentathlon and the outdoor heptathlon.
Coach E knew she would go into coaching after having outstanding mentors in both high school and college. She began at Purdue as a graduate assistant, coaching the multi-event athletes and the women vaulters and throwers. While there, she also directed the Purdue Area Track Club for athletes ages 5 to 17. After finishing her graduate degree, Eisenreich moved on to Colgate for two years. She coached athletes to school records in five throwing events, while also coaching the jumpers and serving as the recruiting coordinator.
Michelle's coaching philosophy is a three-part guiding force: 1) develop the individual on a personal and athletic level; 2) create a healthy team attitude; 3) contribute to the growth of the sport of track and field. She accomplishes these three goals by continually studying the science and the training technique of the events she coaches and making a personal investment into the welfare of each athlete; she instills a strong team ethic and an understanding of how to achieve team success in each individual; and she works with track and field at both the national and grass roots level.
She competed at Carlton College in her native Minnesota, winning her conference championship five times in the shot and discus. In 1995, she was the MIAC Athlete of the Meet outdoors. She holds school records in the shot, discus, and was the school record holder in the 20lb. weight and hammer until 2002. A four-time participant at the NCAAs, she earned All-American honors in 1995 in the discus.
