Michael Tamayo is in his third year after joining the Utah staff in the fall of 2019 as the Director of Operations.Â
Tamayo joins the University of Utah from Charlotte, N.C., where he competed at UNC Charlotte (2011-2016) as a member of the Track and Field program. Post collegiately, Tamayo was a volunteer coach at UNC Charlotte, as well as co-managing the top local running specialty store in the city.
