4-time National Champion, and 4-time All-RMAC selection. He was a
member of Adams State's National Championship Cross Country teams in
1993 and 1994 as Caulfield placed in the top five during both championship
races. Although he did not compete at that year's national meet, he was a
member of the perfect score team of 1992. He became the first All-American
for the men's cross country program when Damon Martin took over head
coaching responsibilities in 1996. He owns the 800m indoor school record of
1:48.94 which was set in 1995. His collegiate accolades resulted in a spot on
the RMAC All-Time Men's Cross Country team in 2009.
After his collegiate career, Caulfield remained in Alamosa as an Assistant
Coach with the Grizzlies winning four NCAA Women's Cross Country
National Championships and two men's titles. He currently serves as the
Head Track & Field/Cross Country Coach for California University of
Pennsylvania where he has mentored numerous All-Americans and Academic
All-Americans.
In 2000, he became the 800m national indoor record holder for his home
country of Ireland. His mark of 1:47.21 was five-hundredths of a second better
than the previous top time. Caulfield held onto the record for more than a
decade and was among the top 50 in the International Association of Athletics
Federations (IAAF) World rankings. He is a two-time European Cup
Champion (800m and 1500m), a two-time runner-up at the Millrose Games in
