Carly Fehringer
Assistant Coach - Throws

Carly Fehringer is in her fourth year (2023-24) as the Assistant Track and Field Coach at Wayne State College, working with throwers.

Under Fehringer in 2023, Wayne State saw its first-ever national champion in the weight throw as senior Brooklynn Chipps set a new school record at 67' 11" to win the event by over two feet.  Fehringer coached throwers to one national championship, three All-American finishes and two NSIC championships in the 2023 season.  Chipps (fourth) and Mckenzie Scheil (fifth) would each collect All-American honors during the outdoor season in the hammer throw.

Fehringer coached the Wildcat women's team to a top 20 finish at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 2022 season, placing in a tie for 18th place with 14 points thanks to All-American finishes from Mckenzie Scheil (2nd) and Brooklynn Chipps (3rd) in the hammer throw.  For the season, Fehringer coached six national qualifiers and three All-Americans along with one NSIC indvidual champion (Scheil-hammer throw).

In her first season with Wildcat throwers, Fehringer coached seven NCAA national qualifiers that included a pair of national runner ups from Mckenzie Scheil in the weight throw (2021 indoor) and hammer throw (2021 outdoor).  WSC throwers also set two new school records and had three NSIC individual champions - Cade Kalkowski (hammer throw) and Mickenzie Scheil (weight throw and hammer throw) in Fehringer's first season as throws coach.  

Fehringer, a Wayne native, returned to Wayne State after coaching two years (2019-20) at Western Colorado University.  In her first year at Western, Fehringer coached Colby Stinson to a national runner-up finish at the 2019 Indoor NCAA DII Championships in the shot put, along with breaking the school record in the process. She also coached her athletes to seven top ten all-time Western performances.

Prior to Western, Fehringer served as a volunteer coach at Wayne State College for four years helping develop a potent throws group with her coach Brett Suckstorf. In that capacity, Fehringer focused on mentoring weight and hammer throwers while helping administer training across the remaining throwing events.

Before taking on her volunteer role, Fehringer was a standout thrower at Wayne State from 2011-2014. With the Wildcats, she was a four-time All-American and seven-time national qualifier (3rd – 2014 Hammer Throw, 2nd 2014 Weight Throw, 2nd, 2013 Hammer Throw, and 3rd 2013 Weight Throw).  She was named the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Indoor Field Athlete of the Year and Wayne State College Female Athlete of the Year in 2014.

While volunteering at Wayne State, Fehringer continued her own post-collegiate career. A decorated post-collegiate athlete, Fehringer qualified for four U.S. Championships in the hammer throw while also competing in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials in the same event. Fehringer was inducted into the Wayne State Athletic Hall of Fame in October of 2019.

Fehringer earned her bachelor's degree from Wayne State College in 2014 majoring in Criminology. She resides in Wayne.
