Michael D. Feldman assumed the position of Head Coach for Osbourn Park Track and Field in November of 2001 and retired from the position in 2019. In 2022 he returned as the Head Coach for one additional season. From the Sprints-Hurdles and Distance Events to the Jumps and the Throws, he and his coaching staff developed “deep depth.” The Yellow Jackets produced formidable lineups covering each event of indoor and outdoor track and field and were at their competitive best on the biggest stages of the sport. Their Relay Squads reflected this depth as OPTF was highly competitive at all levels of competition.
Under his leadership, Osbourn Park Track and Field had unprecedented success. The Yellow Jackets won (43) invitationals, 28 District Championships, 12 Regional Championships, and had 18 top ten finishes in the State Championships. 19 athletes garnered individual state titles and four relays earned state championships. Four relays earned All American Honors and one Emerging Elite National Championship. 78 Osbourn Park Track and Field Alumni have competed on the intercollegiate level.
In 2012 Feldman was selected as the Washington Post’s All Met Outdoor Girls Track Coach of the Year. In 2014, he was selected as the Virginia High School Coaches Association Indoor Girls Coach of the Year. Seven years earlier, the same organization recognized him for his service to the Viriginia high school track and field community with the Walt Cormack Award.
He has also made significant contributions in providing opportunities for athletes to compete. From 2004 to 2022, he founded and served as the Meet Director for the Victor Cahoon Track Classic, The Running Store City-County (2007-2022) Championships, and The Winter Jacket Classic (2011-2022). Since 2016 he has served as the Indoor and Outdoor Region Meet Director. In 2016 he co-founded the Virginia Track Coaches Association and served as its inaugural President, stepping down in 2019.
Coach Feldman taught United States and Virginia History, United States and Virginia Government and Prince William County History at Osbourn Park from 1995-2018. He and his wife Lindsey have retired to Midlothian, Virginia where they enjoy spending time with their three children and their families, traveling the world, and serving to launch and support Resurrection Anglican Church-Midlothian, a new church plant.
