Stockton University Athletics

Kevin Chandler is the first assistant coach in any sport to be elected to the Stockton Athletics Hall of Fame. Chandler instructed the men's and women's throwers at Stockton for 34 years from 1989 to 2024. He coached eight NCAA Championship qualifiers including three All-Americans (Audra Schappell 2006, Edward Dennerlein 2020, Darren Wan 2022).
 
Competitors under Chandler's tutelage won 32 NJAC individual titles and 15 Collegiate Track Conference crowns. He coached five NJAC Most Outstanding Athlete award winners and nine NJAC Outstanding Field Athlete award winners while teaching the shot put, weight throw, discus and hammer throw.
 
Affectionately known as "Coach Kev", Chandler was a fixture on the Stockton track & field coaching staff who shared his extensive knowledge of throwing technique with generations of student-athletes while bringing a genuine warmth and infectious good nature each day.
