# Patrick Wales-Dinan: Building Strong Distance Programs

[Patrick Wales-Dinan](https://differ.blog/@patrick-wales-dinan) has built his coaching reputation by strengthening programs from within. His tenure at Williams College and Duke University laid the foundation for his later success.

At Williams College, he coached multiple All-Americans, including Jennifer Gossels, a national champion. His ability to develop depth—multiple athletes performing at high levels—has been a defining feature of his coaching.

This depth-focused approach continued at Long Beach State, where team-wide improvements became evident through consistent results.
