The Grambling State University track & field head coach Lamonte Vaughn Jr. announced the addition of Hagan Landry to the staff as an assistant coach.

Landry joins GSU after spending the 2024-25 season as the throws coach at West Virginia State University, where his athletes broke six school records across the men’s and women’s programs. He also coached freshman Anthony Belcher to a conference championship in the discus.

Prior to his coaching career, Landry competed professionally for 11 years as a member of the United States Paralympic Track & Field Team under the guidance of Lawrence Judge.

He earned a silver medal in the shot put at the 2021 Paralympic Games and a bronze medal at the 2023 World Championships, currently holds the Americas record, and ranks fourth on the all-time world list in the shot put.

A native of Delcambre, Louisiana, Landry brings elite competitive experience to the Grambling track and field program.
