He was named to the All-GLVC Team all four years and was the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Champion in 1982 and 1983. Nolan was named a Cross Country All-American and Track All-American in 1983. His efforts helped Southern Indiana claim the GLVC Team Championship all four seasons and the Great Lakes Regional Championship in 1982 and 1983.
