Matt Gittermann currently serves as Head Cross-Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track coach at Mount Hebron High School.

Matt has been running competitively since sixth grade when he learned the value of training for races by running a four-mile race on a whim, then crying to his parents about the pain after. He started running for Lewiston-Porter High School (near Niagara Falls, NY) in seventh grade, and continued his career at Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland.

He estimates that he has run about four hundred races in his lifetime ranging from 100m to half-marathons to road races to a decathlon. He currently has a USATF Level II track certification in endurance and a USATF Level I Certification. This summer he will be one of 20 attending the USATF/USOC Emerging Elite Endurance Coaching Clinic at the Olympic Training Center and he will also be getting his USATF Level II Certification in Sprints/Hurdles/Relays. He has also worked with Hammond High School, the former Maryland Track Club, and the Summer Striders High School Cross Country Program.
