Chuck Koeppen built the IUPUI (now IU Indianapolis) program into a recognizable name, largely through in-state recruiting and athlete development, ultimately capturing the 2014 and 2015 Summit League titles. The Jaguars later earned three straight Horizon League titles in 2019, 2020, and 2021, with Coach Koeppen leading the way.

Coach Koeppen mentored hundreds of student-athletes while at IU Indy, and this endowed scholarship will pave the way for his legacy to continue to make an impact in the lives of Men's Cross Country and Track and Field athletes for years to come. Thank you for your generous support!
