Olympian. National Champion. If you can find better adjectives to describe a runner's career then you better apply them to Kevin Sullivan. The three-time Olympian and multiple NCAA Champion is in his second season as a volunteer assistant coach at Florida State.

At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney he took fifth in the 1500m and returned to compete at the 2004 Games in Athens. In 2008 he advanced to the semifinals of the 1500m after running the seventh-best time during the prelims. He has taken part in 21 IAAF World Championship events and has run 32 sub four-minute miles during his career.

During the 90's Sullivan was one of the most dominant distance runners in the NCAA. He won four NCAA titles - 1995 & 98 indoor mile run, 1995 1500m run and 1995 distance medley relay - and produced 14 All-America honors. Sullivan is the still the NCAA Indoor Championships record holder in the indoor mile with a time of 3:55.33. Within the conference ranks he captured 12 Big Ten titles and is one of only three runners to win four cross country championships. He was named Big Ten Athlete of the Year nine times.

Sullivan has been member of the Canadian National Team since 1993, including seven-consecutive spots on the World Cross Country Championship squad. He has won 15 national championships and holds the Canadian records for the 1500m (3:31.71), outdoor mile (3:50.26), indoor 3000m (7:40.17) and outdoor 3000m (7:41.60). In addition to his Olympic success, he was a silver medalist in the 1500m at the 2001 Goodwill Games and the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

A 1998 graduate of Michigan with a degree in civil engineering, Sullivan is married to Florida State assistant coach Karen Harvey. The Brantford, Ontario, native has served as a volunteer assistant at both Illinois and Michigan.
