In his 12th year of coaching track and field, Virgilio has taken his experience as a youth, high school, collegiate and post collegiate coach to develop athletes, teams and the sport in a positive, progressive way.  Through his own competitive athletic career, coaching experience and educational pursuits, he has been able to formulate an approach and procedure that elicits unique change and precedent, at each level.

In 2015, Virgilio coached Cheverus High School athlete Jake Dixon to the fastest indoor 300m (35.50) and outdoor 400m (48.45) ever run by any Maine high school athlete.  The following year (2016), he repeated the same coaching feat on the female side as Cheverus high school athlete Emily Turner ran 56.57 for 400m outdoors.

In 2014, Virgilio coached the Cheverus boys' 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams to the all time, all class Maine high school state records as well.  That same year, while coaching at the University of Southern Maine, Virgilio led the men's 4x400m relay team to the fastest time ever run by any 4x400m (3:12.94) relay team, in state history.

Steve has coached two athletes to three National titles (NCAA DIII Indoor and Outdoor Men's Triple Jump and New Balance High School Emerging Elite Boys' 2 Mile) and four All American Honors.  He has coached a combined 48 male and female athletes, at the USATF youth, high school and collegiate levels, to qualify for National Championship events.

He's coached 10 regional champions including ECAC, Open New England, DIII New England and USATF Region 1.  His athletes have won 119 individual state titles, 5 team state titles, 109 individual conference titles and 10 team conference titles.  They've broken 19 state records and 10 all time, all class, Maine state records.

Virgilio graduated from Holy Cross (Worcester, MA) with a degree in psychology.  He competed in the decathlon and was the Open New England Champion in 2004.  He's competed in two world championship double decathlons (2005 and 2010) and been invited to an Olympic skeleton tryout (2002) and American Ninja Warrior tryout (2010).  He holds USATF level 2 certifications in the sprints, hurdles and relay events, jumping events and throwing events.  Virgilio has also begun and completed work on his USATF level 3 certification in Eugene, Oregon during the 2016 Olympic Trials.  He has earned additional certifications through the American College of Sports Medicine as a personal trainer and as a strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
