 Professor, head coach, director of men's
athletics and assistant chancellor. These are some of the titles James Flood held
during his 30 years as a mainstay on the UW-Oshkosh campus. His influence helped
mold UW-Oshkosh athletics into the winning tradition that we still see today.
Flood's association with UW-Oshkosh began in 1965 as a professor of health and physical education. That same year he assumed the responsibilities as head coach of both the men's cross country and track and field teams. As head coach of the men's cross county team for five years, Flood guided the Titans to the WSUC title in 1967 and 1968. He was named NAIA District 14 Coach-of-the-Year both seasons. As head coach of the men's track and field team for 17 years, Flood guided the Titans to four WSUC Outdoor Championships (1966-1968, 1971) and two WSUC Indoor Championships (1971 & 1973). Flood was named NAIA Area Four Coach-of-the-Year in 1973. Five times in his career, Flood received NAIA District 14 Track and Field honors. In 1974, Flood became the director of men's athletics. UW-Oshkosh teams combined to win 11 national championships during Flood's 13-year tenure as athletic director.
Flood accepted a new challenge in 1987 when he became UW-Oshkosh's Assistant Chancellor of University Relations. For eight years, Flood had administrative responsibility for the alumni affairs, university publications, news bureau, electronic media relations and government relations. Before teaching at UW-Oshkosh, Flood taught at both Roosevelt Junior High School in Oshkosh from 1957-1960 and Oshkosh Senior High School from 1960-1965. Flood received his undergraduate degree in 1957 and graduate degree in 1960 from the UW-La Crosse. He would later earn his Doctorate at the University of Northern Colorado in 1970. Flood's involvement also extended into the community. He played an active role in the city of Oshkosh with his involvement in the Oshkosh Citizens Advisory Committee, the Oshkosh Area United Way and the Wisconsin Special Olympics. Currently, he is serving on the board of directors for the Oshkosh Area United Way and the UW-Oshkosh Titan Booster Club. Flood retired in 1995 and resides in Oshkosh with his wife, Gretchen. |
