Wawasee High School

My name is Brent Doty, and I am proud to be the Athletic Director at Wawasee High School. My time as a student at Wawasee was spent playing football, basketball and baseball. After high school, I was a collegiate baseball player. I hope to bring my years of experience as both a coach and educator to my role as Athletic Director. I spent many seasons coaching baseball, working to mentor student-athletes and build strong teams. With a background in math and science education, I value the balance between academics and athletics. I have a lifelong passion for sports and a commitment to student success on and off the field. My goal as the AD is to lead our coaches and athletes to embrace the three pillars of the Wawasee Athletic Department: Community Connections, Character Development, and Competitive Performance.

I’ve been coaching cross country since 2020, and I’ve loved every second of it. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping young athletes grow—not just as runners, but as people. Being able to serve the Wawasee Community by coaching the boys cross country has been amazing. I use cross country as a way to teach lessons that go beyond the sport—things like responsibility, discipline, and perseverance. My goal is to help athletes develop habits and values they can carry with them long after high school. Coaching is more than a job to me—it’s a chance to make a positive impact, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to do so.

I am honored to serve as the Head Women’s Cross Country Coach at Wawasee High School. My journey with Wawasee Cross Country began in 7th grade, and the program has been a big part of my life ever since. A 2007 Wawasee graduate, I continued my running career at Indiana Wesleyan University, where I earned a degree in Business Management in 2011. Beyond coaching, I help lead my family’s business, which has proudly served the local community for over 60 years. I am also engaged to my fiancée, Heather, and together we are excitedly planning our wedding. Coaching at Wawasee is truly one of my greatest joys. I love guiding athletes through the process — watching them put in the hard work, celebrate their breakthroughs, and achieve great results on the course. Even more rewarding is seeing them grow into strong leaders and individuals who take the lessons from cross country and apply them to life beyond the sport.
