Larry Russell is beginning his first season as an Assistant Coach for the Barton College men's and women's track and field teams in 2022-23.  Russell will work primarily with the jumpers and several other field events.

Russell, a native of Sicklerville, N.J., graduated from Barton in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in criminology and criminal justice.  Russel has served as intern for the Wilson County Substance Abuse Coalition prior to returning to Barton.
