Having success is one thing…being successful year after year is something much tougher. The Christopher Newport University football program heads into Year #13 in 2013. CNU teams have enjoyed a dozen seasons of amazing success, including nine conference championships and nine NCAA Division III Playoff appearances. The remarkable success of the program can all be traced back to the Captains’ hard- working head coach. MATT KELCHNER has guided the Christopher Newport football program since its inception in 2001. The native of Covington, Pennsylvania has been named the Coach of the Year in the USA South Athletic Conference six times (2001, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011) and has led the Captains to the NCAA Tournament nine times in the first 12 years
