If someone told Kelly Phillips a year ago she would be South Florida's head cross country coach and a mom, she wouldn't believe it. But after the birth of her son Michael, in April and the departure of longtime coach Bob Braman in June, that is where Phillips finds herself, taking on the challenges of motherhood and coaching. There are so many changes in my life.

For Phillips, the transition from associate head coach to head coach has not been stressful. Bob let me do a lot of stuff the past couple of years, including coaching the women. The main change is now I am in charge of the men as well as the women. She was also named the NCAA South Region Coach of the Year the past two years. She is one of the best coaches in the country.
