Ethan Tussing is the associate head coach for throws with the Virginia Commonwealth University men's track and field program in Richmond, Virginia, and he enters the 2025-26 season in his 18th year with VCU track and field.
Tussing has overseen one of the program's most productive event groups across conference and national competition. In 2025, his athletes again delivered major results. Eryn Byrd posted personal bests in the hammer throw and weight throw and won the Atlantic 10 shot put title in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Gudrun Hallgrimsdottir captured the A-10 title in the hammer throw, won the NCAA First Round, and placed sixth at the NCAA Championships in Eugene. On the men's side, John Casper won the A-10 indoor title in the weight throw and outdoor titles in both the discus and hammer, then advanced to the NCAA First Round in the hammer throw and finished 18th in a 48-athlete field.
