Ron Thomson begins his fifth season as the New Mexico Highlands
strength and conditioning coach.
In 2015, Thomson was given the Masters Award in the College
Strength and Conditioning field for 2015.
Thomson came to New Mexico Highlands with more than 30 years of
experience in not only high school, but also at all levels of NCAA
athletics. Before joining the athletic staff at Highlands, he was

UW-Milwaukee.
In Thomson's time as a strength coach, he has worked with 24 teams
that have received NCAA postseason bids, 23 teams that have won
conference championships (including indoor and outdoor track and
field at Highlands in 2015), 11 teams that have received football
bowl game invitations, trained nine individual Olympic athletes and
worked with three teams that have won national
championships. His resume includes positions
with SMU in the midst of their heyday in football
(1982-85), Marshall (1986-87), Boise State (1986-94) and Purdue
(1999-2011).
He also served on the weightlifting staff at the 1996 Summer
Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Thomson has worked with the
likes of Drew Brees (Super Bowl winning quarterback with
the New Orleans Saints) and David Boudia (gold
medal in diving in the 10-meter platform apparatus at the 2012
