Former RedHawk standout Ceith Creekmur enters his second season as an assistant coach at Miami after wrapping up his four-year career in Oxford. An all-Mid-American Conference decathlete and three-time conference point scorer, Creekmur handles the throws, pole vault and multi-events for the Red and White.
In his first season as an assistant, Creekmur helped three athletes score at the 2007 MAC meet, most notably Jake Kuhner, who placed fourth in vault and eighth in javelin. Creekmur's two additional scoring athletes were Bryan Ferres, who finished fourth in the javelin and Mitchell Reynolds, who placed eighth in the decathlon. Numerous athletes also set new career-best performances under Creekmur's tutelage, including thrower Dan Beach, who moved to eighth on the Miami all-time top 10 list in the hammer throw (181-0).
Familiar with both the Miami program and the MAC, Creekmur was a four-year letterwinner with the RedHawks (2003-06) and finished in the top eight in the decathlon in each of his final three seasons, including a MAC runner-up finish as a junior. A second-team all-MAC honoree in 2005, Creekmur also earned MAC Track Athlete of the Week honors on March 22, 2005, after winning the decathlon at the Florida State Invitational.
In his final season in Oxford, Creekmur put the finishing touches on an impressive college career, turning in an eighth-place heptathlon finish at the U.S. Indoor Nationals and a fourth-place decathlon finish at the MAC Championships. In addition, Creekmur registered the seventh-best decathlon score in program history at the SeaRay Relays, tallying 6,899 points. Creekmur also left Miami as the school record holder in the heptathlon with 5,399 points.
A Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist All-America honoree as a senior, Creekmur graduated from Miami in May 2006 with a bachelor's degree in exercise science. He is currently enrolled in the master's program at Miami in exercise science. Creekmur has earned his Level I certification in the USA Track and Field coaching program.
