AT CORNELL
Ethan Sandusky was hired as an assistant coach for the Big Red in October of 2022. He is in charge of assisting with the vertical jumps and decathlon.
In his first season, Sandusky helped Victoria Atkinson reach a new indoor school record in the women's pole vault with a mark of 4.17m, one of five top 10 school marks in his events. While at Cornell, Sandusky's athletes have set one school record, earned two Ivy League Championship medals and have been conference scorers five times.
PRIOR TO CORNELL
Sandusky had served as assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Tulane from 2019-22. During his tenure on the Green Wave staff, his student-athletes accomplished three school records, three AAC Championship medals, 13 AAC Championship scorers, 12 Tulane top 10 school records and five scholastic All-Americans.
He came to New Orleans from Fayetteville, Ark., where he served as a volunteer coach at the University of Arkansas since August 2018.
Monitoring and assisting with all field events for the men’s and women’s programs – primarily pole vault and high jump – Sandusky helped his athletes achieve many accomplishments over the past year. The women’s indoor and outdoor teams were crowned NCAA Champions and SEC Champions (the Triple Crown), while the men’s indoor team finished the season as SEC runner-up and two of his student-athletes finished as NCAA individual champions, with six earning All-America honors in 2019.
Before his time with the Razorbacks, Scooby spent two seasons as a volunteer coach at the University of Nebraska. From 2016-18, he helped produce two Big Ten Champions and seven Big Ten medalists.
COMPETITION CAREER
During his undergraduate career at Arkansas State, Sandusky spent a summer working as a research assistant with Pole-Vaulting Biomechanics at the USA Track and Field Championships at SUNY Cortland. In his three months there, he worked to position proper velocities on the competition runway to analyze athletes and determined kinematic velocities of pole-vaulters to provide in-depth performance reviews.
Sandusky graduated with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science in 2014 and a master’s degree in exercise science in 2016, garnering some impressive accomplishments during his time with the Red Wolves.
As a three-time Sun Belt Conference pole vault champion, Sandusky was also twice an NCAA outdoor preliminary round qualifier and a finalist in 2015, finishing 16th in the nation. Becoming the Sun Belt record holder in 2015, he also broke into the top 10 standings in Arkansas State’s record books in both the pole-vault and heptathlon.
