Nicholas Noheimer enters his 10th season as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach and assistant men’s and women’s track and field coach during the 2025-26 academic year.
Noheimer has worked extensively with Mohammed Abunar, April Mauceri, and Nicole Maliborkska, all have earned All-East Regional status during their careers with Noheimer's guidance.
In 2023-24, Noheimer helped lead the Chargers to a top-10 finish in both the men’s and women’s Northeast-10 Conference Championships, with a pair of Chargers earning All-Conference honors on the men’s side – Mohammed Abunar and William Brown, with the accolade for Abunar the second straight season he has earned the distinction.
After wrapping up a ninth place finish at the 2022 NE10 Championship, a pair of women’s runners earned All-Conference distinction with Alli Kenneally earning second team distinction and rookie Isabella Bostic garnering third team accolades.
In 2019, Noheimer mentored a pair of All-Northest-10 honorees on the women’s side in cross country in senior Mary Kate Barton and freshman Alli Kenealy, both of whom landed on the Third Team after their performances at the NE10 Championships. Academically, both teams were named All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA and four Chargers earned individual All-Academic honors. The women’s team posted the highest female team GPA (3.56) in the athletic department during the Fall 2019 semester.
In the 2017 season, Noheimer led the women’s cross country to a first-place finish out of all Division II/III schools at the Ted Owen Invitational hosted by Central Connecticut State (9/23). The finish was one of four top-five finishes for the women’s team, as New Haven finished third at the Adelphi Panther Invitational (9/1), fifth at the Trinity Invitational (9/9), and third at the Western New England Invitational (10/14). In the second to last meet of the season, New Haven raced to an eighth-place finish at the Northeast-10 Championships for the second top-10 finish in three years.
Most notably, Noheimer mentored Nicole Maliborska during the 2017 season, who finished fifth at the NE10 Championship to become the first First Team runner for New Haven since they joined the conference in 2008. Maliborska went on to finish in 16th place at the NCAA Division II East Region Championship, helping her earn her first ever All-Region honors and first for New Haven since 2011.
Noheimer came to the Chargers after spending time as the head coach at Lasell College in Newton, Mass. Prior to joining the Lasers, he worked for a season at Northeast-10 Conference rival American International College as an assistant coach. While there, he helped guide Yellow Jacket runners to five All-America placements combined between cross country and distance events for indoor and outdoor track and field.
Before becoming a member of the staff at AIC, Noheimer spent two years as a graduate assistant for cross country and track and field at Springfield College. He helped mentor two distance athletes to All-America honors and saw four runners compete in the NCAA Championships in cross country and track and field. In 2012, he helped lead the men's cross country team to a sixth place finish at the NCAA Division III East Region Championship, its highest ever placement at the event and just the sixth top-10 team finish for the Pride since reclassifying to D-III prior to the 1996 season.
As a student-athlete, he ran four seasons of cross country as well as indoor and outdoor track at Eastern Connecticut State University. In 2009 he earned indoor All New-England honors, running the lead leg of the distance medley relay, helping to set a school record. Additionally, he broke the ECSU record in the indoor mile with a 4:37.2 clocking.
Noheimer is a 2010 graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BSEd in Physical Education while minoring in health and coaching. He earned a MEd in Physical Education with a concentration in Advanced Level Coaching from Springfield in 2013.
