Robin Balder-Lanoue begins her 15th year as head coach for the Blazer track and field team in 2013-14, and her 17th season with the program.

She’s coming off a season where she led the Blazers to a pair of top-four finishes at the MIAC Championships. Indoors, they were a mere two points away from a runner-up tally, eventually placing third. Outdoors, they finished fourth, but finished with 100 points in a loaded meet.

She guided six athletes to first team All-MIAC honors last season, while 15 more came away with all-conference honorable mention accolades.

Along with her track and field coaching duties, Balder-Lanoue also serves as the head coach for the Saint Benedict cross country team. In 2011 and 2009 she was named MIAC Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year, and in 2010 Balder-Lanoue was named MIAC Outdoor Track and Field Co-Coach of the Year.

In six of the last seven seasons Balder-Lanoue has led the Blazers to a top-three finish at the MIAC Championships, including a second place tally indoors in 2011, culminating with her third Coach of the Year honor.

In 2011, Danielle Busch qualified for both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships in the pole vault. In the 2010 outdoor season, she guided a pair of NCAA qualifiers as well as two MIAC Champions.

A 1991 CSB graduate, she earned her Master’s Degree in secondary education in 1998. Balder-Lanoue is also a USATF Level II Throws Coach, and a USA Track and Field Academy Endurance Specialist.

BriAn SeBerA

Brian Sebera joins the Blazers as an assistant cross country and track and field coach full time in 2013, after working with each team part-time during the 2012-13 season.

Prior to CSB, Sebera coached both men’s and women’s track and field at St. Cloud State University from 2005-2012, including serving as interim head coach during the 2011-2012 season in both cross country and track and field. While at SCSU, Sebera oversaw multiple facets of the program, including recruiting, coaching, fundraising, and staff management.

He earned his Bachelor’s degree in recreation and sports management from St. Cloud State University in 2005 and completed his Master’s degree in 2007. He is currently pursuing his educational doctorate in higher education administration with an anticipated completion date in the spring of 2014. During his tenure at St. Cloud State, Sebera competed in track and field from 2000-2004.

Sebera brings a wealth of coaching accomplishments to the Blazers. He has already proven his success in the MIAC, mentoring nine MIAC place winners. During his time at SCSU, Sebera coached one national champion along with 33 NCAA Division II All-Americans and 42 national qualifiers.
