CLU Hires a Coach for Track but Loses a Pair in Tennis

Kyle Tarpenning was named Thursday as coach of the women’s track and field program at Cal Lutheran in one of three coaching changes the school announced.

In the other moves, Paul Steele resigned as men’s tennis coach and Carla DuPuis resigned as women’s tennis coach.

Steele, who will take a position as assistant women’s tennis coach at Pepperdine, led the Kingsmen to second place in NAIA District 3 during his only season as coach. DuPuis, who coached the team for two years, remains at Cal Lutheran as women’s volleyball coach and assistant athletic director.

Tarpenning, an assistant last season, replaces Hector Nieves, who resigned for personal reasons after four years as women’s track and cross-country coach.

Maureen Manley of Thousand Oaks was a member of the winning National A Team on Thursday in the 50-kilometer women’s race in the U. S. Senior National Cycling Championships in Glenville, N.Y.

Manley, Phyliss Hines of Tullahoma, Tenn., Jeanne Golay of Hollywood, Fla., and Inga Thompson of Reno, Nev., were timed in 1 hour 4 minutes 27 seconds, taking the race by a 47-second margin.

The same quartet also was named to represent the United States in the women’s team trial for next month’s World Cycling championships in Japan.
