One of the most recognized names in Colorado State track and field history, he won the NCAA indoor mile title in 2001 and then captured the outdoor 1,500-meter title three months later. Berryhill guided the women's cross country team to CSU's first-ever Mountain West Conference and regional team championships during the 2007 season. In winning the Mountain West title, the Rams ended BYU's 19-year reign as conference champions. Because of the team's success, Berryhill earned Mountain West Conference and Region Coach of the Year honors. Other accomplishments by the Rams under Berryhill's guidance have included April Thomas winning the school's first individual women's cross country title in 2007, both Allison Gohl and Jake Keyser earning MWC cross country Freshman of the Year honors in 2007, the women's cross country team finishing 24th in 2006, and 15th in 2007, at the NCAA championships, and guiding Rob Watson (3,000-meter steeplechase) and Nicole Feest (10K) to school records in 2007. Watson was also the 2007 NCAA Midwest Region champion in the steeplechase. Both Watson and Feest went on to compete in the 2007 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. Berryhill is married to the former Toni Zander, also a member of the CSU track and field family. The couple has two children, 6-year-old Libby and 4-year-old Eli.
