Troy Fichter has had the privilege of coaching Moody Bible Institute’s Women's Cross Country Team for eight seasons. Fichter is also the Athletic Operations Manager at Moody Bible Institute and is an adjunct instructor in the  Lifetime Fitness Department.

Fichter came to Moody Bible Institute in January 2000 to complete a BS in Biblical Studies. He then completed his M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Moody Theological Seminary in 2004. Seeking to combine his biblical training with his passion for fitness and health, he completed a M.S. in Sports Fitness and Health from the United States Sports Academy in 2011. Fichter has been a full-time employee at Moody Bible Institute since 2005 and is a Level 2 USA Track and Filed Endurance Coach and a USATF Cross Country Specialist. 

"My hope is that the Moody Women's Cross Country Team will be a light to those they come into contact with, whether it is for encouragement to other believers and each other or to share the Gospel message to those that may not know about our Savior, Jesus Christ," says Fichter. "All ability, strength and blessings are from above and it is for His glory that we run and run hard."
