Campbell University

Evan Darm was named Interim Head Coach in August 2023 after two seasons working with the cross country team and distance runners wiithin the track program.

Darm initially joined the Campbell staff during the summer of 2022. 

"I'm very excited about the addition of Coach Darm," said former head coach Virgil Givens upon the hiring of Darm. "He has shown that he's a good recruiter but even better developer. Evan will help our program reach phenomenal heights."

In 2022-23, Darm helped coach All-American Dorcus Ewoi. During the cross country season, Ewoi set personal bests in the 5K (16:59.6) and the 6K (20:40.5). She finished second at the Big South Championships and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the NCAA Championships with a 23rd place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regionals. Under Darm's tutelage, Ewoi would become one of the top distance runners in the region on the track in 2023. She won the 800m and 300m at the Big South Indoor Championships and finished first in the 800m and 1500m at the Big South Outdoor Championships. The Kitale, Kenya native would go on to finish fifth in the 800m at the NCAA Championships, the best finish in a women's distance event at the national meet in program history. Ewoi set school records in the indoor 800m (2:04.62) and the 800m (2:01.12).

Darm rejoins the staff after serving as the head coach for cross country and assistant coach for track & field at Lincoln Memorial University located in Harrogate, Tenn. for two years in 2020 and 2021. While at Lincoln Memorial, Darm coached two SAC conference champions in the 800m and in 2022 coached four runners who qualified for NCAA Division II Nationals in multiple events. 

He was a member of the cross country and track & field program at Campbell achieving All-Big South honors in 2014 and graduated in 2015 with a B.S. in exercise science.
 
Following the conclusion of his career as a runner, Darm served as a graduate assistant for track & field at Campbell until 2017. He then served one more year as a volunteer assistant coach for the 17-18 season. He helped the men's cross country team to Big South conference championships in 2016 and 2017. Darm also received a M.Ed. in interdisciplinary studies from Campbell in 2017.

He spent one year at Adrian College in Michigan where he served as an assistant cross country and track & field coach. 

Darm then returned to Campbell for a year helping the Camels to a men's cross country conference championship in 2019 before leaving for Lincoln Memorial in 2020.
