Aaron Teigen is entering his 3rd year coaching long and triple jump at the University of Mary.
In the 2021 Indoor Season Aaron coached D’Andra Morris to a Conference Championship in the triple jump and Arianna Passeri to an All-Conference performance (3rd). At the DII Indoor Track and Field National Championship Aaron coached D’Andra Morris to a National Runner-up in the long jump. The best finish in that event in program history. Her Jump was a school record of (41’6”).
In the 2021 outdoor season Aaron’s group elevated its performance by claiming two conference titles in the long jump and triple jump for the women’s team. Lexus Lovan won the long jump while D’Andra Morris won the triple jump and placed 3rd in the long jump earning All-Conference performer. D’Andra was later named Women’s Field Athlete of the Meet for NSIC. Also earning All-Conference performer was Cali Modglin who finished 3rd in the triple jump. On the men’s side Astley Davis finished runner-up in the Men’s triple jump earning him All-conference performer. At the DII Outdoor Track and Field National Championship Aaron coached D’Andra Morris to another National Runner-up performance in the triple jump. Her jump was a school record of (43’1”).
Aaron previously attended the University of Mary, earning his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science in 2014 and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2017.
Aaron competed in long and triple jump at the University of Mary from 2011 to 2015. Aaron placed at several conference meets with his biggest accomplishment being a Conference Championship in the long jump during his 4th season.
Aaron understands the commitment and hard work it takes to be a student-athlete. In high school, he only competed in long jump for three weeks before earning 2nd place at the state meet. When he came to the University of Mary for school, he decided to give long and triple jump a little more effort than he did in high school. With hard work, determination, and great coaching, Aaron was able to become a top jumper in both the long and triple jump throughout the NSIC while also earning honors and academic awards in the classroom during his career at the University of Mary.
Aaron is originally from Rugby, ND.
