Assistant Coach

Biography:

My Name is Al Uliana and I am a 2002 graduate of Pen Argyl Area High School.  I attended college at Elizabethtown and earned my B.S. in psychology.

I competed in cross country for two years at Pen Argyl, earning my varsity letter while also being named team MVP.  I also competed in track and field at the High School level earning another team MVP award running the middle distance races.

At Elizabethtown College I was fortunate to hold four indoor and two outdoor school records after my freshman year.  I was named first team all conference multiple times for indoor and outdoor track and field in the 400 meter dash while earning conference championship medals in the indoor Distance Medley relay and the 4 x 400 meter relay twice.  I was able to compete at nationals in the 4 x 400 meter relay my junior year participating on a Blue Jay team that finished 13th in the nation for outdoor track and field. 

I had previously coached at Pen Argyl Area High School for both middle school cross country and track and field for 6 years prior to joining the Bangor Staff in 2015.  I also am an Assistant High school track coach at Bangor working primarily with the sprint and hurdle events.

Biography:

I am a 1990 graduate from Phillipsburg High School and earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Education from FSU in 1995 and 1997 respectively.  I ran both Cross Country and Track & Field at Phillipsburg and FSU. While at P’Burg I was privileged to have been a varsity member of teams that won the East Penn Conference in Cross Country (’88 &’89) , Track (’87 &’90) as well as a NJ State Sectional Title in Cross Country (’88). At FSU I enjoyed many team successes with multiple Conference championship teams in CC, Indoor & outdoor Track and Field as well as three team qualifying trips to NCAA Cross Country Nationals.  Individually, I was very successful with having earned  All-American finishes at NCAA nationals in CC twice, and a combined eleven times in Indoor and Outdoor Track.

I have been Coaching at Bangor since 2001 as either a volunteer, an assistant or as a head coach in High School Cross Country (volunteer ’01-’02, assistant ’03-’07, head ’08-present), Middle School Basketball (assistant ’03-’15, ’18-'19, ‘24-’25, head ’16-’17), Junior High Basketball volunteer assistant (‘19-‘20) , and High School Track and Field (assistant ’02- ’06, head ’07-present). Over those years as the head coach these HS teams have earned twelve (12) Colonial League Championships (CC earned 5, track earned 7).

Personally, I am married to my wife Tanya and I am blessed with 5 children, two sons and three daughters (Aaron, Jacob, Sarah, (the twins) Grace and Hannah).
