Chapin Stewart

Chapin Stewart is now in his second season with the Gamecocks prior to 2026-27, serving as an assistant distance coach as well as handling internal operations for South Carolina.

Stewart was able to work alongside Brock Moreaux during the cross country season as well as the track campaign, assisting in one of the most successful distance seasons in program history. During the cross country campaign, the Gamecocks reached new heights never before seen in Columbia, S.C. as the squad earned a team appearance at the NCAA Cross Country Championship, finishing 15th overall. The Gamecocks finished runner-up at the NCAA Southeast Regional, just one week after earning the program’s first-ever podium finish at the SEC Cross Country Championship with the bronze medal. That carried over into a dominating distance season during the indoor and outdoor campaigns, winning three distance events at the SEC Indoor Championship as well as one SEC Outdoor title. There were eight All-Americans on the distance team during Stewart’s first year assisting with the squad.

Stewart arrived in Columbia prior to the 2025 cross country season after serving as a volunteer assistant coach with Florida Track & Field and Cross Country. While with the Gators, Stewart assisted in the training programs and routines of the middle distance/distance groups. Stewart also aided with the on-campus recruiting visits and the operations side of the team.

Stewart has also coached at Saint Thomas More as the Assistant Cross Country Coach where he was named 2023 Milesplit Louisiana Cross Country Assistant Coach of the Year. While with Saint Thomas More, Stewart’s squad won the 2023 LHSAA Division II Girls Cross Country State Championship, led by Camryn Haik who captured the individual state title.

Stewart graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration – Finance. He was also a two-year member of the Cross Country and Track & Field teams at Louisiana and was part of the 2022 USTFCCCA All-Academic Team.
