Remuro Henry is in his sixth season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of South Florida (USF) Track & Field team.
He works primarily with the Long and Triple Jump athletes, helping guide the Bulls to national recognition through his expert coaching and mentoring.
In 2024, Henry played a pivotal role in leading the men’s indoor track and field team to a conference championship. Under his guidance, standout athlete Goodness Iredia became the long jump record holder at USF, achieving a jump of 7.52m (24’8") and ranking top 4 all-time in the triple jump. Iredia also set the outdoor school record with a jump of 7.94m (26'0") and won both the long jump and triple jump titles at the 2024 American Athletic Conference (AAC) Championships.
In the 2023 season, Henry coached Nia Robinson, who earned Indoor All-America honors in the long jump and claimed the AAC outdoor long jump championship with a mark of 6.69m (21’11”). Under Henry’s leadership, Robinson contributed to USF’s long jump squad ranking among the top 5 NCAA Division I teams.
Henry’s impact on USF’s jumpers continued in the 2021 season when he coached Shaniya Benjamin, a Tampa native who became the AAC Conference Long Jump Champion with a mark of 6.53m (21'5"). Benjamin also became USF’s No. 2 all-time outdoor performer in the 200m (22.97) and was a key member of the 4x1 and 4x4 relay AAC Championship teams. Additionally, David Ajama set the USF indoor record for the triple jump with a distance of 16.03m (52'3"), while earning both indoor and outdoor AAC conference championships in the event.
Before arriving at USF, Henry spent a season at Western Kentucky University (WKU), where he served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. He helped Annastacia Forrester achieve NCAA Outdoor All-America Honorable Mention status and post the fourth-longest indoor long jump in school history (19'11.50").
Henry’s coaching career began at Barton Community College, where he helped the Cougars win the 2018 conference and regional championships. He was named the USTFCCCA Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year after his athletes secured 50 All-American accolades, contributing significantly to Barton’s national title. Henry’s earlier coaching experience includes stints at Wayland Baptist University and Coffeyville Community College, where he coached Olympic medalist Andre De Grasse.
