Johnathan Butler was named assistant track & field coach for sprints and jumps in December 2023. 

He joins Colgate after most recently serving as an assistant track and field coach at the Maclay School in Tallahassee, Florida this past year. 

Before his work at the Maclay School, Butler spent two seasons at Florida A&M University, again serving as an assistant track and field coach for the Rattlers. He began his coaching career with a six-year stint at Rickards High School from 2015-2021, where he overlapped as a strength coach for the Wake Forest University football team in 2019. 

In total, Butler has played a part in five district championships, two regional championships, and a state title in 2023. He has coached over 30 all-league selections and four athletes of the year while earning three Coach of the Year awards from Rickards High School in 2018, 2019 and 2020.  

Butler, a former two-sport athlete competing in football and track & field, graduated from Florida A&M University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in pre-physical therapy. He later went on to receive a master’s degree in sports management in 2019.
