Oliver Fideler came back to the New York University track and field team as a volunteer assistant coach prior to the 2025-26 season.
The 2025-26 track & field campaign produced record-high NCAA Championship finishes for the women's team, placing 15th indoors and 23rd outdoors, while the men recorded their best NCAA Outdoor Championships finish since 2005, placing 34th. The programs combined for 13 All-America honors across the indoor and outdoor seasons.
Under Fideler’s guidance, Alexa McMillian placed 20th in the triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and set a program record of 12m at the AARTFC Outdoor Championships, while Amalia Hronides took third in the high jump at the UAA Outdoor Championships.
A three-year member of NYU’s track & field team (one as a graduate student), Fideler competed in the jumping events. He won the long jump with a personal-best 6.79 meters at the Big Apple Invitational in February 2025.
Prior to NYU, Fideler attended and competed on the track & field team at San Diego Mesa College for two years.
A 2023 NYU graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Fideler is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work from NYU’s Silver School of Social Work.
Fideler is native and resident of Brooklyn, NY.
