2011-12 Idaho State Men's Track and Field Coaching Staff
Paul Litchfield
Assistant Coach
Experience: Fifth Season
Graduated: Idaho State, 2003
Paul Litchfield enters into his fifth year as an assistant coach for the Bengals after volunteering during the 2006-07 season. He competed four years for the Bengals in the multi-events and pole vault earning four Big Sky titles in the pole vault (two indoors and two outdoors) and one title in the decathlon.
He earned All-American honors in 2002 for his fourth-place performance at the NCAA National Championships in the pole vault and still holds both the indoor and outdoor ISU school records in the event.
After graduating, Litchfield stuck around to train and compete. During the 2005 season, Litchfield competed at the USA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships placing third and ninth respectively. In 2008 he was an Olympic Trials finalist taking 10th place, putting only seven athletes between Paul and his Olympic dream.
Litchfield is originally from Auburn, Calif., where he attended Bear River High School. Auburn is the same home town as ISU’s own Stacy Dragila. Paul met Dragila and Coach Nielsen at a pole vault clinic in California and knew instantly that Idaho State was the place for him. He earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Idaho State University in 2003.
Litchfield’s passion for the vault has taken him all over the world to compete and study the different coaching philosophies and practices used by various respected national coaches and athletes, giving him a unique perspective into an individual’s needs for such a complicated event.
