3 HEAD COACH RAY TREACY Ra y Tr e a c y Director of Cross Country & Track Operations 26th Season Coaches Through The Years Harry Coates Ray Hanlon Bob Amato Ray Treacy Present Arguably one of the top coaches in the country, Ray Treacy embarks on his 26th season as Director of Cross Country and Track Operations at Providence College. In his 25 years at Providence, Treacy has coached 135 All-Americans, 13 NCAA individual champions, 133 BIG EAST individual champions and 13 Olympians. In addition, his teams have captured one NCAA Cross Country Championship, 11 NCAA Northeast Regional Championships, 16 BIG EAST Cross Country titles and 20 New England Championships. Treacy's road to success began when he was a student-athlete at Providence College. A 1982 graduate of the College, Treacy is very committed to the success of PC's cross country and track programs. His knowledge of conditioning and training has moved the Friars' cross country and track programs into national prominence since he took over as head coach in Success and Ray Treacy have been synonymous at Providence College. Besides his long lists of BIG EAST, ECAC, IC4A and New England Champions, Treacy was instrumental in putting together the 4 X 1,500 meter relay team that set the world record at the Penn Relays in For his achievements, he was named Rhode Island Words Unlimited Coach of the Year (1991). In 1995, Treacy's women's cross country squad completed its incredible season by capturing its first NCAA title. Prior to winning the NCAA title, the women's squad also won its first BIG EAST and ECAC championships. In recognition of his efforts, Treacy was named NCAA Division I Women's National Coach of the Year, BIG EAST Men's and Women's Coach of the Year, Rhode Island Words Unlimited Women's Coach of the Year and NCAA District I Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year. In , the men's and women's cross country teams thrived under pressure at the NCAA Championship. At the NCAA Regionals held at Van Cortlandt Park, the women clinched the title and a qualifying spot for the NCAA Championships, while the men placed second also qualifying for the Championships. The women's 2008 NCAA Championship appearance marked the 20th consecutive appearance for the Friars, the longest stretch in the history of NCAA women s cross county. Going into the NCAAs the teams were ranked the lowest they had been all year; the women were ranked 20th and the men were ranked 28th. The women, led by All-American senior Danette Doetzel finished 13th - seven places higher than their predicted ranking. Doetzel claimed her fourth All-America honor by placing 31st individually. The men enjoyed similar success, finishing 20th-overall - eight places higher than their ranking. Sophomore David McCarthy capped off an outstanding season by finishing 19th individually, claiming his first All- America honor. During the indoor season, three Friars claimed BIG EAST titles and All-America honors. On the men's side, the duo of David McCarthy and Hayden McLaren each claimed a BIG EAST title; McCarthy won the 3,000 meters and McLaren claimed the 1,000 meters. The two runners qualified for the NCAA Championships in the mile, where McCarthy placed third and McLaren finished fourth. Under the guidance of Treacy, the two men established themselves as the number four and five fastest milers ever to run at Providence. For the women, Danette Doetzel concluded her final indoor track season with the Friars. She claimed the BIG EAST title in the 3,000 meters and went on to claim her fifth All-America honor at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 5,000 meters. In the 2009 outdoor track season, Danette Doetzel won the BIG EAST title in the 10,000 meters, qualifying for the NCAA Championships. David McCarthy won the East Regional title in the 1,500 meters, also qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Doetzel concluded her illustrious career at Providence College by capturing the 10,000 meter title at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track Championships. Doetzel's victory was the 10th NCAA individual title for the Providence College women's track and cross country program under coach Ray Treacy. In , the men's and women's cross country teams enjoyed stellar seasons. Both teams were crowned BIG EAST Champions and finished among the top-10 at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The women's team captured a seventh-place team finish at the NCAAs, while the men finished ninth. PC's success at the BIG EAST Championship helped to mark the men's 11th, and women's fifth BIG EAST team titles under Treacy's guidance. Providence has captured a total of 20 BIG EAST team titles in cross country (15 men's and five women's). On the men's side, Martin Fagan won the individual BIG EAST title and completed the season with a fifth-place finish at the NCAAs. Aine Hoban finished second at the BIG EAST Championship for the women and seventh at the NCAAs. Fagan and Hoban each earned All-America honors for their efforts. At the conclusion of the BIG EAST Championships, Treacy and his assistants were honored as BIG EAST Staff of the Year in both men's and women's cross country. At season's end, Fagan was honored by the USTFCCCA as the Division I Northeast Region Male Athlete of the Year. During the indoor and outdoor track seasons, three Friars won a total of four BIG EAST individual titles led by Max Smith who claimed two individual championships in the mile (indoor) and 1,500 meters (outdoor). Hoban (5,000 meter indoor) and Fagan (3,000 meter indoor) were PC's other BIG EAST individual champions on the year. Hoban, Smith and Fagan also earned All-America honors during the track seasons. Hoban led the way having earned All-America recognition in the 5,000 meters (indoor) and 10,000 meters (outdoor). Fagan claimed All-American honors in the 3,000 meters (indoor) and Smith was recognized in the 1,500 meters (outdoor). Prior to the NCAA Outdoor Championship, Smith was named USTFCCCA Division I Northeast Region Men's Track Athlete of the Year. Seven PC All-Americans were crowned during the season as the Friars continued their tradition of success. Fagan finished 16th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships to earn his first All-America honor. On the women's side, senior Fiona Crombie also was tabbed as an All-American with a 14th-place finish as the women's cross country team made its 17th consecutive trip to the NCAAs. During the indoor track season, senior Mary Cullen finished second in the 3,000 meters at the NCAAs, leading Providence to a tie for 26th-place and earning her fifth All-America accolade. The men's team was led by junior All-American Max Smith who placed sixth in the mile at the NCAAs. Treacy also led Fagan and Cullen to BIG EAST titles in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters as both were named Most Outstanding Performers at the BIG EAST Championships. The outdoor track season was another milestone for Providence. Running in her final race, Cullen won the 5,000 meters at the NCAAs and became CROSS COUNTRY & TRACK - 3

4 HEAD COACH RAY TREACY the ninth individual NCAA champion to be coached by Treacy. Cullen's performance led to Providence finishing in a tie for 25th-place, the highest result of any BIG EAST team. The men's team recorded its highest finish ever at the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships, placing 16th, which also was the best of any BIG EAST team. Fagan placed second in the 10,000 meters, while Smith finished third in the 1,500 meters as both earned All-America honors. The season proved to be another banner year for Treacy's teams. The women's cross country team placed third at the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season and captured its fourth BIG EAST title. The team was paced by Kim Smith, who capped off her brilliant career at PC by winning the NCAA Championship. Treacy also guided both the men's and women's cross country teams to the NCAA Northeast Regional title as he was named the regional coach of the year. The men's cross country team made its 10th consecutive appearance at the NCAAs and finished 21st. The team also won its 24th New England crown. During the outdoor track season, the women's team qualified for the NCAA Championships as Mary Cullen and Fiona Crombie each earned All- America honors.

5 FRIAR COACHING STAFF St e p h e n Wa l s h Head Men's Track & Field Coach Fourth Season Stephen Walsh enters his fourth season as the Head Men's Track & Field Coach at Providence College. Walsh, a 2001 graduate of Penn State University with a B.S. in accounting, served as an assistant men's and women's cross country and track and field coach at the University of Pennsylvania from At Penn, his primary duty was working with the distance and cross country runners. In Walsh's first season at Providence College, the Friar men's and women's cross country teams each captured BIG EAST team titles and saw Martin Fagan earn the men's individual BIG EAST title and claim All-America honors at the NCAAs. Aine Hoban finished second overall at the BIG EAST Cross Championships and also earned All-America honors at the NCAAs. During the indoor and outdoor track seasons, the Friars won a total of four BIG EAST individual championships and three Friar runners captured All-America honors a total of four times. In the , the Friar men's and women's teams enjoyed success during the cross-country season. The men's team finished third of 14 teams at the BIG EAST Cross Country Championship; while the women's team finished second of 16 teams. The women's team captured the NCAA Northeast Regional title and the men's team finished second at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships. Danette Doetzel and Max Smith each claimed the individual titles. The team had two All-Americans; Danette Doetzel and Ahmed Haji. The season was a highly successful campaign for the Friars' track program. During the indoor season, three Friars claimed BIG EAST titles and All-America honors. On the men's side, the duo of David McCarthy and Hayden McLaren each claimed a BIG EAST title; Mc- Carthy won the 3,000 meters and McLaren claimed the 1,000 meters. The two runners qualified for the NCAA Championships in the mile, where McCarthy placed third and McLaren finished fourth. The two men established themselves as the No. 4 and No. 5 fastest milers ever to run at Providence. For the women, Danette Doetzel concluded her final indoor track season with the Friars. She claimed the BIG EAST title in the 3,000 meters and went on to claim her fifth All-America honor at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 5,000 meters. Under Coach Walsh, Charles Dewey was the runner-up at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championship in the 800 meters. Dewey captured the New England Outdoor Track title in the 800 meters, in a time of 1:48.77, ranking third all-time behind Friar greats Andy Keith and John Evans. The men's outdoor 4x400 meter relay team set a school-record of 3:15.82, the Just Dewey-it... Charles Dewey '09 dives for the finish line of the 800 meters at the 2009 BIG EAST Outdoor Championship, where he placed second. Dewey claimed the New England Championship 800 meter title later in the season under the guidance of Coach Walsh. team was comprised of Dewey, Brian Stannard, Alan Pandiani and Thomas Manglaviti. The men's distance medley team of Stannard, Dewey, McCarthy and Dominic Channon also set a new school-record during the indoor season at the IC4A Championships, running a time of 9: In the 2009 outdoor track season, Danette Doetzel won the BIG EAST title in the 10,000 meters, qualifying for the NCAA Championships. David McCarthy won the East Regional title in the 1,500 meters, also qualifying for the NCAA Championships.

At Penn State, Walsh was a four-year varsity letter winner in cross country as well as track. Walsh was named to the All-East Indoor Track Team (1998, 2000, 2001), All-Region Cross Country Team (2000, 2001) and All-Big Ten Cross Country Second Team in Walsh also earned Academic All-BIG Ten accolades for three seasons and received the Student Athlete Achievement Award in CROSS COUNTRY & TRACK - 5

6 MEN'S OUTLOOK Men's Cross Country Coach Ray Treacy believes the men's cross country team has the best talent it has seen in many years. Senior Hayden McLaren (Christchurch, New Zealand) and junior David McCarthy (Waterford, Ireland) will be expected to lead the squad. McCarthy had a breakthrough season last year, placing third at the BIG EAST, second in the Northeast Regional and 19th at the NCAA Championship. As for McLaren, in his final season with the Friars he will be looking to challenge McCarthy for the top spot on the squad. At the 2007 Northeast Regional held at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass., McLaren placed second to All-America teammate Max Smith '08. This season, the Northeast Regionals returns to Franklin Park and McLaren will be poised for the win. Behind McLaren and McCarthy, sophomores Dominic Channon (Nelson, New Zealand) and Lee Carey (Bedworth, England) will have a year of experience and will be in the top-four on the squad. Carey struggled with injury throughout the past year, but managed to place 111th at the NCAA Championship. This season Carey is healthy and fit and should accomplish great things at the BIG EAST Championship and NCAAs. Arguably the most important spot on a cross country squad is the final scorer - the fifth man. A few runners will be contesting for this spot on the Friars' squad. Seniors Mike Anderson (Ajax, Ontario) and Tom Webb (Williston, Vt.) are experienced runners expected to compete for the final scoring spot. In addition to the veteran runners on the team, sophomore Julian Matthews (Nelson, New Zealand), a transfer student from Auburn, is expected to be a major contributor to the team. With the fifth-place Auburn team, Matthews placed 175th at the 2008 NCAA Championship. With the depth on this year's squad, the BIG EAST title is a major team goal and a top-10 finish at the NCAA Championship on November 23 in Terre Haute, Ind. is more than possible. All-American David McCarthy '11 Lee Carey '12 Dominic Channon '12 Men's Track The men's track and field squad will be looking for another successful year, as it returns nearly all of last year's runners. Richard Yeates (Dublin, Ireland) will be returning as a graduate student to compete for the Friars for both indoor and outdoor track. Last season, Yeates claimed All-BIG EAST honors in the indoor 5,000 meters and will look to improve upon that result this season. Senior Hayden McLaren has his 1,000 meter BIG EAST indoor track title to defend. Junior David McCarthy is also in a similar position, he is the defending BIG EAST champion in the indoor 3,000 meters. Last year both runners broke four-minutes in the mile. McCarthy ran 3:57.75 ranking him fourth all-time at Providence College, McLaren was second in a time of 3:57.78, ranking him fifth at PC. McCarthy and McLaren placed fourth and fifth, respectively, at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track Championships and will be looking to repeat similar success. For the outdoor season, the Friars will once again look to qualify as many athletes for the championship meets as possible. At the Penn Relays, the Friars hope to improve upon last season's third place finish in the Championship of America 4 x Mile and contend for the victory this season. The team returns all four runners from last season. However, other runners that could compete for a spot on the relay team are Lee Carey and Julian Matthews. Mac-Attack...
