Friar Hall of Famer and Olympian returns to her alma mater.
PROVIDENCE, R.I.– Providence College Head Coach of Cross Country and Track Ray Treacy has announced the hiring of Sinead Delahunty Evans '93 as the program's Assistant Coach for Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track and Field on February 7.
"I am delighted to welcome Sinead back to the Friar family," Treacy said. "The experience she has acquired as a head coach at Brandeis University and as an assistant at Boston College will be invaluable to the program as we build on the successes of the past number of years."
"I am excited and proud to be returning to my alma mater to join this incredible program," Delahunty Evans shared. "I would like to thank Ray, Tim and Cat, as well as Steve Napolillo and Jill LaPoint, for giving me this opportunity. I am looking forward to working with the amazing student athletes at PC."
Sinead Delahunty Evans returns to her alma mater as an assistant coach, joining Ray Treacy's staff after a year as an assistant coach at Boston College, where she was responsible for coaching the women's middle-distance athletes and helping recruit top level NCAA talent. Delahunty Evans served as a volunteer coach on Treacy's staff this season, helping the women's cross-country team earn a third-place finish at the NCAA Championship.
During her time at BC, Delahunty Evans had a significant impact on the program, coaching three of the top five athletes on the team that took second place at the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Northeast Regional Championship to gain an automatic berth to the NCAA Championship, where the team finished in 26th place. She also coached three of the four athletes on the DMR teams that ran a school record time of 10:50.00 and finished ninth at the NCAA Indoor Championship in Boston.
Prior to her time at BC, Delahunty Evans was the head men's and women's cross-country and track coach at Brandeis University. At Brandeis she coached and mentored student athletes to 37 All-America honors, including Emily Bryson, one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the program, who won four national titles, and the women's DMR team that won the 2019 NCAA DIII Indoor Championship title, the first in program history.
Delahunty Evans' teams also shone at the national level, including the 2018 women's cross- country team that finished a program-best sixth place at the NCAA Championships, and the women's indoor track and field team that took a seventh-place finish at the 2019 NCAA Indoor Championships.
A 1993 graduate of Providence College, where she was a six-time All-American, Delahunty Evans was a two-time Olympian for her native Ireland, competing over 1500m at the 1996 and 2000 Games. She was inducted into the Friars' Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.
Delahunty Evans and her husband John '89 have three children Sean (22), Ciara (17) and Jamie (15).
