Robb Munro enters his tenth year overall at SUNY Delhi for the 2021-22 year and first as Associate Athletics Director. He was appointed to the position after spending his first nine years as head coach of the cross country and track & field programs, guiding the teams to numerous championships and outstanding recognition, academically and athletically, during the college's transition to NCAA Division III. 

"Over the past nine years, Coach Munro has demonstrated his dedication to SUNY Delhi Athletics and our student-athletes' overall experience," said Director of Athletics Bob Backus. "As we are set to begin our active NCAA Division III membership in September, having a knowledgeable former SUNY Delhi Head Coach in the Associate AD role will enable us to continue to be successful as an NCAA and North Atlantic Conference athletics program. As Director of Athletics, and on behalf of the institution, I am looking forward to working with Robb as we begin our athletics program's next chapter. Go Broncos!"

"I am excited to take on this new challenge and help support all the coaches and athletes as they lead SUNY Delhi into the future as an NCAA program," said Munro. "This is an exciting time in SUNY Delhi Athletics and I look forward to helping shape the path forward."

Munro joined the SUNY Delhi Athletics Department in 2012 to take over the college's storied cross country and track & field programs. His success was not measured by wins and feats as much as it was by sustained excellence during SUNY Delhi's transition to four-year athletics and NCAA Division III. Munro helped close out his teams' time in the NJCAA with a women's track & field national title in 2014 and the men's track & field national crown in 2015. Upon entering the USCAA, his men's cross country teams posted four straight national titles between 2016 and 2019, and even coached one NAIA Indoor Track & Field All-American in winter 2018.

In their transition to NCAA Division III, the Broncos have combined for nine ACAA and NAC conference championships over five years between cross country and track & field. Munro and his squads found instant success at the All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Conference (AARTFC) Championships, totaling four victories, two meet records, and at least one podium finish at every indoor and outdoor championship since joining in 2018-19.

Munro's student-athletes have excelled just as brilliantly in the classroom, with five of his students earning the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence in six years, along with two receiving the USCAA Student-Athlete of the Year. He had one student amass back-to-back CoSIDA Academic All-America selections, with another two taking CoSIDA Academic All-District.

He is also a notable figure in the community, most prominently running the annual Catskill Scenic Trail Half-Marathon and Relay event every July as part of the Run Wild in the Catskills racing series. Proceeds benefit the local fire departments, school districts, maintenance of the Catstkill Scenic Trail, and local running programs.

A lifelong resident of Delaware County, Munro grew up in nearby Sidney and was a standout distance and steeplechase runner at Sidney High School, winning the New York State Class C/D steeplechase championship. He continued his running career in college, first at Virginia Tech and then University of Delaware, earning 11 letters and possessing the fourth-fastest time in UDel school history in the steeplechase. He earned his Bachelor's from Delaware in History Education in 2001, followed by his Master's in Education at University of New England in 2006.

Prior to SUNY Delhi, Munro spent 11 years as a teacher and coach at Bainbridge-Guilford Middle/High School in Bainbridge, N.Y. In guiding the cross country and track & field programs, Munro's teams combined for 13 conference titles, 13 conference relay titles, two sectional titles, and one regional title. He additionally coached soccer and basketball.

Munro resides in Delhi, N.Y. with his wife Stephanie, their sons Liam, Finley, and Avery, and their dog Marcy.
