HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Carroll College track and field coach Matt Morris has announced the hiring of Harry Clark as his assistant.

Clark just finished his 11th season as an assistant track coach at the University of Montana, where he coached sprinters, hurdlers and throwers. He is a former decathlete at the University of Houston and Montana State and still holds MSU's record in the decathlon with 7,633 points.

He finished fourth at the 1989 NCAA championships

Clark was an 11-time state high school champion at Cascade High School and still holds the all-class state record in the triple jump and Class B records in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles.

Morris says Clark has coached every event in track and field and will be an amazing resource for the Carroll program.

Clark says he's excited to help Carroll build its program.
