Fitzel, who retired from the college earlier this month, started at Coast in 1978 as the head men's and women's cross country coach and was also assistant track and field coach. He coached the cross country teams through 1995 and started OCC's women's golf program in 1996. Fitzel is filling in for Hokanson, who stepped aside from his duties as track coach to become interim Athletics Director and Dean of Physical Education and Athletics. Hokanson, who coached the track and field teams from 1969 through last spring, took the interim roles after Athletics Director and Dean of Physical Education Jane Hilgendorf retired last Friday.
