Stahl arrives in Monroe after serving as UNF's assistant track & cross country coach for three seasons. In his final season at North Florida, Stahl coached four First-Team All-ASUN, six Second-Team All-ASUN and two Third-Team All-ASUN cross country and track athletes. He assisted in the team breaking 10 different program records and helped the men's cross country team earn a runner-up ASUN finish.

The four first-team All-ASUN selections were for cross country in 2016 and 2017, while he was selected for outdoor 1500m and 5000m in 2018.
