A former assistant will return to Augustana College as head coach for its women's track and cross country teams. Wednesday the college announced the hiring of David Thompson.
He'll replace Fred Whiteside who's retiring, after serving as an assistant to Whiteside from 2003 to 2007.
A graduate of North Central College in Naperville, Thompson has also coached at Ashford University in Clinton, the University of Dubuque, and at the Oswego campus of the State University of New York.
And for the last two seasons, he served as men's track coach at Williams University in Massachusetts.
