In 2011, Perry led CSU-Pueblo's track and field to program to heights it hadn't seen in two decades as two individuals qualified for the NCAADivision II National Championships (Shilay Willis in the 400-meter and Danita Wyatt in the triple jump), with Wyatt being named the program's first All-American since 1993. During the 2011 indoor and outdoor track seasons, he coached four USTFCCCA All-Region athletes, 17new school record holders, 11 Deans List student-athletes and the RMAC triple jump champion (Wyatt). On top of all those accomplishments, in 2011, CSU-Pueblo was awarded the honor of hosting the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Division II National Championships, mainly as a result of Perry's lobbying of Pueblo as a viable site for the Championships. Overall, Perry has seen seven student-athletes qualify provisionally for the national championships over the past two seasons, as well as his 4x100-meter relay team. Regularly, his athletes have overtaken the CSU-Pueblo school record books in multiple events, as well. All of this was accomplished after taking over a track program in 2008-09 that had been dormant since 1993, and building with a base of freshmen and developing their abilities. Upon his hire in fall 2007, Perry, also the cross country coach,immediately made his mark with the cross country program by tutoring Lauren Dunsmoor, who broke the school's cross country time standards and wasnamed a 2007 All-American. Perry, a 2000 graduate of the University of Texas, spent the three years at Portland State prior to earning the job at CSU-Pueblo, where he was responsible for coaching the decathlon, pole vault, and throwingevents. Perry has coached six PSU students to All-Big Sky Conference honors, two junior USA Track and Field all-Americans, two National Strength and Conditioning All-Americans, and six NCAA Western Regional qualifiers. Perry also was part of a staff that saw members of its women’s team break 35 school records. In addition to Perry's work as a track and field coach, he has had experience with strength and conditioning centers across the country. He was a member of the sprints and hurdle developmental staff at the USA Track and Field High Performance Center in Indianapolis, managed a billiondollar sports club, Town Sports International New York Sports Club, in New York City, and was the weight lifting instructor at Portland State.He was also the women's assistant track and field coach at Odessa Junior College in Odessa, Tex. for two seasons.
