Paul Roberts joined the York Lions cross country coaching staff before the 2010 season.

He brings to York significant experience as a former varsity athlete. Roberts ran for Ohio State University and was the top Canadian at the 1977 NCAA cross country championships, finishing in 42^nd place. He received all-American honours in 1978 for indoor track, where he ran the distance medley.

He also has an impressive junior resume that includes multiple top finishes at provincial and national meets. In 1976 he won the Ontario and Canadian junior 5km championships, and also won the 10km in a time of 29:44, which still stands as the Ontario junior record. Roberts also won back-to-back gold medals in the 5km race at the Ontario Summer Games and a gold and bronze medal in consecutive 10km races at the same event.

In 1975 he was crowned the junior cross country Ontario Track and Field Association champion. Roberts continues to run 40-50 miles a week and enters a few races per year.
