Prior to his time at Wagner, Harvey began his collegiate coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Wisconsin where he worked with the Badgers' sprints and jumps groups while working under the pole vault and multis coach during the 2019-20 season. In addition to his coaching duties with the Badgers, he also coordinated campus tours and visits for incoming recruits.
