Coach Simpson enters his ninth year as head track and field coach for the 2027 outdoor season.
Over his time, he has cultivated multiple individual medalists and strong team performances at the conference championships. In 2026, Ethan John won the Atlantic East title in the 200-meter race and finished with the bronze medal in the 100. Nahshon Harrison-Fobbs turned in a third place time in the 400. The 4x100 relay team was third and the 4x400 squad was second. Ciana Rosado picked up a bronze in the 400-meter hurdles.
As an assistant coach for the Knights from 2016-18, Simpson worked primarily with the team’s distance runners. Under his watch, Neumann runners set numerous program records, while several also qualified for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championships.
In addition to his work at Neumann, Simpson has also helped lead track programs at Goldey Beacom College, Christiana High School, Middletown High School and Conrad's High School of the Sciences. The coach is also a certified personal trainer and strength and weight consultant in various gyms and fitness centers in Delaware.
Simpson also still runs competitively himself, winning the Masters national track and field championship in both the 400-meter dash and 800 meter run in 2016.
