The 2018 women's team also posted its highest conference finish (third) and posted a program-best ninth-place showing at the national championships in 2019.
As a student-athlete at the University of Minnesota, Malm competed in the javelin and was a member of three Big Ten Conference championship teams.
Malm — who, along with his coaching duties was also the UD recruiting coordinator — currently holds certifications from USATF (Level 2 Throws), USTFCCCA (Throwing Events, Strength and Conditioning), and the NSCA (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist). In 2016, Malm was invited to participate in the USATF Emerging Elite Coaches Camp.
