Syracuse, N.Y. – Le Moyne College Assistant Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recreation Phil Brown has announced the hiring of Tanner Beebe as the head coach for men's and women's cross country and track and field.

Beebe comes to Le Moyne after 15 months as an assistant coach at Colgate University of the Patriot League. During his time in Hamilton, Beebe helped lead the men's cross country team to a tie for its highest placing in the Patriot League since 2005.

"Le Moyne College is proud to welcome Tanner as our new head coach for track and field and cross country," said Brown. "He brings exceptional personal and professional experience that will strengthen our program and support the continued development of our student-athletes. During the interview process, I was particularly impressed by his emphasis on fostering joy within the program — a joy grounded in teamwork, growth, and the pursuit of excellence."

"I'm incredibly excited to join the Dolphin family," said Beebe. "As an athlete, I've had coaches who modeled high degrees of excellence, energy, and empathy. And as a coach, I've had the opportunity to carry those emphases and build with coaches and athletes who believe in the same thing. To walk into an institution whose values start with "Greatness meets Goodness" seems like a natural fit. I look forward to building together with all of the good people here."

Prior to his time with the Raiders, he served as a distance coach at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois.
 
Before Roosevelt University, Beebe spent two years at Jones College Prep in Chicago, serving as Head Track and Field/Cross Country Coach. He led three individuals and a relay team to IHSA 3A State Track Championship Qualifiers and led the Jones College Prep Women's Cross Country team to its first ever IHSA 3A State Championship berth.

He started his coaching career with a four-year stint at Germantown Friends School and Godwin Heights High School serving as the Assistant Track and Field/Cross Country Coach.
 
Beebe studied at Kuyper College where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Pre-Seminary Studies. He also assisted in establishing the Kuyper cross country team as a new athletic program.
