Entering his 18th season at Trinity, George Suitor has raised the Trinity College cross country program and the track and field programs to elite status in New England.  Both the Bantam men and women placed 15^th at the New England Championship Meet last fall. 
 
The men's squad has earned a trip to the NCAA Division III National Championships in 2000 and 2006, while missing the championship meet by one place twice in the last seven years.  In 2002, Suitor coached Trinity's first NCAA Division III National Men's Cross Country Champion (Ryan Bak '03), who won the 8,000-meter final race with a course record time of 25:01.
 
The Trinity women's squad earned consecutive bids to the NCAA Division III National Championships with fourth-place performances at the New England meet in 2002 and 2003.  Five seasons ago, the Trinity women finished as the NCAA Division III National Runners-Up with a tremendous performance in the national meet that ranks among the best in Trinity sports history.
 
Suitor's coaching philosophy requires each runner to establish a series of goals that will enable the athlete to reach his or her potential. As a result, there is a gradual increase in training intensity as the athlete progresses from high school to college. Suitor seeks athletes who are committed to the sport, to a demanding workload, and to a team concept. This philosophy has inspired Trinity teams to improve during each of Suitor's seasons.

Suitor came to Trinity in 1992 after a highly successful tenure at the high school level. His scholastic teams (Manchester, CT) won three state championships and three runner-up distinctions, and achieved more than 225 dual-meet victories. At Trinity, eight All-Americans and 17 All-New England runners are testaments to the success of Suitor's coaching. Suitor, after a career as an educator in Manchester, now devotes himself full time to his duties as head coach of Trinity's cross country and track and field squads.

Michael Pilger begins his sixth season as head coach of the Trinity College men's soccer team, after posting an 11-5 record overall and a 5-4 mark in the New England Small College Athletic Conference in 2008.  Last fall, Pilger guided the Bantams to their second consecutive winning season and their 11 wins were the second most in program history.  Also an assistant track and field coach and physical education instructor at the College, Pilger came to Trinity from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and the Cleveland Crunch of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), where he coached in 2003 and 2002-03, respectively, after highly successful stints as head coach at the University of Rochester and Kenyon College.

Pilger coached the Kenyon men's soccer team from 1988-1991, leading a previously sub-.500 program to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament in 1990 and 1991. He was selected as the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Coach of the Year in 1990 and 1991, and the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year and National Coach of the Year in 1990 after leading Kenyon to a perfect 18-0 regular season.

Pilger guided the Rochester men's soccer program to University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship titles and NCAA Tournament bids in 1993, 1995, and 1997 and to ECAC Championship titles in 1994 and 2000. He was selected as the UAA Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1997 and the NCAA Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 1995. Pilger posted records of 57-13-3 at Kenyon and 93-55-20 at Rochester in a total of 13 seasons.

Pilger is a 1982 graduate of Boston University with a bachelor's degree in health and physical education, where he was an all-conference and an all-New England player throughout his career. He went on to play professionally in the American Soccer League and the Lusitana American Soccer Association from 1980 to 1986, and was selected to the all-star squad four times.
