Todd Coffin '83, the nation's best Division III steeplechase runner in 1983 and the New England Division III cross country champion in 1982, still runs and still wins. Last year, he celebrated the nation's birthday by winning the Freeport (Maine) Fourth of July 10k. An hour later, Coffin celebrated his son Alex's second birthday by strapping him in a baby jogger and pushing him to victory in a hometown race, the Bath 5-miler.
Coffin, who in 1989 was ranked 48th among the nation's marathoners, earned a master's degree in geology from Purdue University in 1986 and worked for geology consulting firms in Houston and Cambridge before returning to Maine in 1989. He's now a senior environmental geologist for Jacques Whitford Inc., an environmental consulting firm in Freeport.
