Coaches
Head Coach
Peter
Steese
15 Seasons
P
eter Steese has served as the head coach of the Colby-Sawyer
College men’s and women’s outdoor track and field teams for
all 15 seasons of the program’s existence.
Steese’s squads have had numerous qualifiers to post-season competitions since 1995, including the Division III New England
Championships and the ECAC Championships. Steese, who is
a United States Association of Track and Field Level I certified
coach, has guided four student-athletes to 10 NCAA Division III Championship appearances.
Stephanie Roy (javelin, 2000-02) competed in three consecutive championships, while David
Moreton competed in the 2001 triple jump.
In 2004, the program had its first two All-Americans, as Scott Macdonald (decathlon) and Brittni Stewart (javelin) both finished sixth in their respective events. In 2005, the Chargers claimed
their highest finish, as Stewart was second at Nationals in the javelin as a sophomore. Macdonald also made his second straight NCAA championship appearance in the decathlon in 2005.
Stewart received her third straight All-America award in 2006, earning a third place finish in the
javelin at Nationals and finished her senior year as the school’s only four-time NCAA All-American, finishing third once again.
The Chargers have also had numerous regional successes under Steese. Colby-Sawyer has sent
at least one representative to the New England Championships in 11 of the program’s 15 years
in men’s track and 12 out of 13 years in women’s track. The numbers are much the same for the
ECAC Championships, as the Charger men have been to the ECACs six times and the women
have had a representative in 11 different seasons.
Steese, who also serves as the head men’s soccer coach at Colby-Sawyer, previously was the head
girls’ track and field coach at Gilford Middle High School, and was also Gilford’s assistant coach
for sprints and weights prior to becoming the head coach.
Steese graduated from the University of Maryland in 1974, with a B.A. in German, and later
earned his master’s degree in German Literature from Maryland.
Coach Steese, his wife Cheryl and his three daughters Cameron, Julia and Georgia, reside in
Wilmot, N.H.

2009 Season Preview
The 2009 men’s and women’s track & field teams
will feature 12 returners and 13 newcomers. The
Chargers will look for continued success as they
head towards the ECAC and New England Championships near the end of the season. In 2008,
Head Coach Peter Steese had two men qualify for
the ECAC Championships in addition to sending six men and five women to the New England
Championships. Junior Caitlin Pond (Westborough, Mass.) earned all New England honors for
placing seventh in the heptathlon event.
This year’s squad will be very young and consist
of only five seniors and two juniors. However,
coach Steese is thrilled with the young talent he
has brought to New London. The seniors leading the team in 2009 include Sean Ahern (Delmar,
N.Y.), Ian O’Leary (Reading, Mass.), Ryan Laperle (Brooklyn, Conn.), Ashley Jackson
(Athol, Mass.) and Julia Steese (Wilmot, N.H.).
Last season, Laperle qualified for the New
England and ECAC Championships. He is
very strong at short distances and will strive to
make another post season appearance in 2009.
He already holds individual school records
in the 100m and 200m. Ahern, O’Leary and
Laperle enter ’09 as the record holders of the
4x100m relay. O’Leary set a school record in
2007 in the 800m at 2:01.5.
Male athletes returning to the 2009 team include Matt Cole (Fiskdale, Mass.), Joshua
Commey (Trade-Fair, Calif.), Jeff Cote (Saco,
Maine), Stefan Didrichsen (New London,
N.H.) and Tyler Murdoch (Lyme, N.H.). Coach
Steese welcomes freshmen Gage Bensley (Kittery Point, Maine), Kevin Coyle (Bradford,
N.H.), Tyler Griffin (Waterford, Conn.), Derek
Lautenschlager (Jericho, Vt.), Kevin Meleshuk
(Reading, Mass.) and Ernest Tabiri (Gilford,
N.H.) to the 2009 roster, while sophomore
Paul Trumper (Plaistow, N.H.) and junior Jonathan Espinal-Cabrera (Methuen, Mass.)
also join the team.

2009 Season Preview
On the woman’s side, returners include junior Caitlin Pond (Westborough, Mass.), and
sophomores Amber Cronin (Buxton, Maine),
Ashley Finethy (Alton Bay, N.H.), and Cassandra Monahan (Wakefield, Mass.). Newcomers
include freshmen Achic Castro (New London,
N.H.), Kellie Valentine (West Lebanon, N.H.)
and Melanie Winsted (Yorktown, N.Y.).
Pond enters 2009 trying to improve her school
record in the pole vault which is 2.36m.
Head Coach Peter Steese is very excited about
the potential of this year’s squad and believes
the newcomers will have an immediate impact
on the team’s success. Furthermore, the veterans will continue to shine in ’09 as they try to
break more records en route to the post season championships.
The team will begin the season against some of the best Division I talent in the northeast when they travel to Smithfield, R.I. to participate in the Bryant Invitational. The
season will also finish against the best athletes in New England at Springfield College
with the New England and ECAC Championships.

2009 Review
The 2009 season was a good sign for the
future of the Colby-Sawyer men’s and
women’s track and field team. Several
underclassmen and first year student-athletes contributed greatly to the success
of the Colby-Sawyer track and field
squad throughout the entire season.
Several school records were broken and
11 athletes qualified to compete at the
New England Championships. Freshman
Kevin Coyle (Bradford, N.H.) led a cast
of participants that performed well at the
post season championships.
Junior Caitlin Pond (Westborough, Mass.)
and sophomore Amber Cronin (Buxton,
Maine) each qualified individually to compete at the New England Championships
held on May 1-2. Cronin earned a trip to
New England’s at the Bryant Invitational
on March 28, with a mark of 1.50m.
Cronin continued her success in the high
jump throughout the season, including
a 1.55m jump on April 18 at the Springfield Invitational and April 25 at the
TCCC Invitational, which tied the school
record she set in 2008. Pond earned the
trip to New England’s after qualifying in
the Heptathlon at Holy Cross on April
16. She placed seventh out of 15 at the
championships and had two third place
finishes out of seven events; javelin
(25.80m) and shot put (9.34m). For her
top eight finish, she earned All-New
England honors.
Coyle had a spectacular season which
started with a first place finish and a New
England and ECAC qualifying distance
of 13.49m at the first meet of the year.
At UNH, Coyle qualified for both
championships with a 6.66m distance in
the long jump. Kevin earned victories
in the long and triple jump events at the
ECSU Invitational on April 11. Coyle
set the first of three records in the long
jump at the Springfield Invitational with a
distance of 6.90m. He broke that record
at New England’s with a jump of 6.92m
only to surpass that mark at the ECAC
championships with a distance of 6.97m.
Kevin placed 4th at NE’s and earned
All-New England honors. He also placed
third in the triple jump (14.18m) at NE’s
to earn All-New England honors. Coyle
placed second in the long and triple
jumps at ECAC’s earning 16 total points
earning two All-ECAC honors. Prior to
the championships, Coyle displayed his
dominance amongst TCCC institutions.
He took first place in the long jump and
triple jump with distances of 6.85m and
13.87m, respectively.
The 4x100 women’s relay team comprised
of Cronin, Pond, senior Julia Steese (Wlimot, N.H.) and sophomore Ashley Finethy (Alton Bay, N.H.) qualified for New
England’s with a time of 55.04 at the
Bryant Invitational. The team improved
their time at the ECSC Invitational to
54.74 and then at the TCCC Invitational
to 53.98. The team placed 20th at the
New England championship in 55.44.
The 4x100 men’s relay team comprised
of sophomore Josh Commey (TradeFair, Calif.), freshman Kevin Meleshuk
(Reading, Mass.), sophomore Matt Cole
(Fiskdale, Mass.) and senior Ryan Laperle
(Brooklyn, Conn.) placed 13th at New
England’s in a time of 44.87. Earlier in
the season at the TCCC Invitational, the
4x100 team of Cole, Meleshuk, Laperle

Colby-Sawyer College Athletic Facilities
The Dan and Kathleen Hogan Sports
Center is the heart of indoor athletics
and fitness on campus. The 63,000square-foot facility features a competition-size swimming pool (Knight Natatorium), field house with basketball
and volleyball courts, an aerobics room,
and racquetball, squash, walleyball and
handball courts.
There is also a fully equipped fitness
center for team use, for individual athletes and for students’ personal fitness.
Mercer Hall, which recently underwent
a full renovation, houses the Ray Indoor Climbing Wall, as well as a human
performance laboratory that provides
computerized health and fitness assessments.
Hiddenbrook Farm, a private facility located just 13 miles
from Colby-Sawyer, offers box stalls, a private tack room, a
100’ x 200’ indoor arena, an outdoor ring, acres of turnout and
miles of trails.
Dedicated in October of 1999, the
Kelsey Athletic Fields are some
of New England’s finest. Featuring a 120 x 80 yard soccer field, a
multi-purpose field and a baseball
field, the surfaces and views are unparalleled. The soccer field features
newly added bleachers with seating
for 300 spectators to sit and cheer
on the Chargers.
Also included in the outdoor
athletic facilities are the Kelsey Tennis Courts, recently refinished in
U.S. Open blue, and Mercer Field,
another home to Colby-Sawyer’s
soccer and lacrosse programs.
