KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee director of track & field/head coach Duane Ross announced that JaMichael Glass has been promoted to assistant coach, effective July 1, 2023. The Johnson City, Tennessee, native enters his second year on staff at Tennessee after serving the program as a volunteer assistant during the 2022-23 campaign.

Glass worked with Ross at North Carolina A&T during the 2021-22 season as an assistant strength and conditioning coach, overseeing and implementing workouts for both Aggie track & field teams. He traveled to all competitions and assisted with warmups while completing administrative duties.
A USATF Level 1 certified coach, Glass graduated from Milligan (Tenn.) University in May of 2019 with his B.S. in Exercise Science.
