Art started collegiate coaching at the Colorado School of Mines (NCAA Division 2). Despite every major at Mines being engineering, or closely related, Art transformed the team from a below average squad into annual national title contenders. This was done while competing in the RMAC Conference against rivals Adams State and Western State, who are better than most Division 1 schools. In 2012 Art accepted the head cross country coaching job at Colorado State. Having already taken a CSU squad that hadn't qualified for nationals in years to 19th place, Art is in the middle of transforming another team into a national title contender, this time at the Division 1 level. Additionally, as an interesting aside, Art is one of very few NCAA Division 1 head coaches who runs with his team in practice. He occasionally competes against them unattached in meets as well.
