Linfield Athletics starts the 2023-24 academic year with new coaches leading a trio of athletic programs.
Levi Sieg begins his first year as head coach of the men’s basketball team. He previously spent 15 years as a member of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps coaching staff, rising from assistant coach to associate head coach during his tenure. At CMS, he helped lead the Stags to seven Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships, the most recent in 2018.
Madesyn Samples joined Linfield in March as head coach of the cheerleading program. The longtime competitive cheerleader was a four-year member of the Oregon State University cheer team. She has spent time coaching at both OSU and with Champion Cheer Athletics in Salem, one of the longest-running and most successful cheer programs in Oregon.
Linfield’s men’s and women’s wrestling programs start their second NCAA season under the guidance of head coach Frank Johnson. Johnson brings decades of collegiate and high school head coaching experience, including 12 years at Pacific University and Warner Pacific University. Most recently, he led Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, recognized as one of the top college prep high schools in the nation.
