The Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Lessons from Leaders video series is released Wednesdays in 2019-20 and features Commissioner Corey Borchardt interviewing conference coaches about their success within the conference and at the regional and national levels. The series promotes coaches who have helped enhance the identity and image of the conference as whole. The interviewees include coaches who either won a UMAC regular season or postseason title in 2018-19 or were featured as a UMAC Coach of the Decade during the conference's "10-Year Celebration."
The UMAC Lessons from Leaders series continues as Commissioner Corey Borchardt interviews University of Wisconsin-Superior men's and women's cross country and track and field coach Glen Drexler. Since joining the UMAC, the Wisconsin-Superior men's programs have dominated winning 11-straight UMAC titles between cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field (Outdoor, 2016 through Outdoor 2019). During that time, Drexler was named UMAC Coach of the Year 11 times.
The 2019-2020 school year marks Drexler's 10th season leading the Wisconsin-Superior cross country and track and field programs and his 16th overall at the institution. During his tenure, Drexler has guided 17 teams or individuals to NCAA Championship appearances.
