Alaric Best was a key member of the Broncos cross country teams that posted back-to-back NJCAA National Championships in 2006 and 2007. He served as Delhi's crucial fifth and final finisher on a tough, hilly course to lock up the '06 team crown, while earning All-American Honorable Mention in '07. In track & field, Best was a two-time All-American in the 4x800, earning indoors honors in 2007 and outdoors in 2008. He continued his career at NCAA Division II University of New Haven, where as the cross country team captain as a senior helped guide the Chargers to the NCAA East Regionals, placing 12th. Best stayed on at UNH as an assistant coach, which then led to his current appointment as head coach at fellow Division II Ursuline College in 2015. His coaching highlights with the Arrows include three NCAA Track & Field Individual National Champions, nine NCAA All-Americans, 24 NCAA national qualifiers, and the track & field team achieving its highest national ranking in school history. Upon earning his Bachelor's degree in 2010, Best transferred hours from UNH back to SUNY Delhi to receive his Associate's in Recreation & Sports Management. He holds two Master's degrees, one from UNH in Labor Relations and a second from Ohio University in Recreation and Sport Science/Coaching Education.
