One of the most successful coaches not only at Concord, but in the WVIAC and now the Mountain East Conference, Cox is an 11-time conference coach of the year. In addition to the numerous conference championship athletes he coached in track and field, Cox guided 2016 Concord Hall of Fame inductee Shawnee Carnett to two Division II individual National Championships in 2011 and again in 2014 in the 800-meter run, the first national championships for Concord in any sport. The veteran coach has led the men's cross country team to four conference championships since 2007 and the women's cross country team to their first conference championship in 2010. One of Cox's highest accomplishment was coaching the 2016 men's cross country team to a berth at the NCAA Championships in Saint Leo, Florida, a first-time feat for any cross country team in the WVIAC or MEC, regardless of gender. Along with Carnett, Cox has guided four other athletes to the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships in 17 years at Concord.
