2015 SEASON OUTLOOK

2015 SAINT JOSEPH’S WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY MEDIA GUIDE2

Last year, the Hawks were led by eight upperclassmen –four juniors and four sophomores – on a young squad that wasvoid of senior leadership but full of unwavering determination.This year, all eight of those Hawks return in senior and juniorleadership roles to guide the Hawks into the 2015 season.Under the direction of first-year head coach Melody O’Reilly,the Hawks will look to their veterans for experience and direc-tion en route to making a run at the Atlantic 10 Championship.

“The girls are very open to change, and they’re excited,”said O’Reilly. “Experience will carry this team, and I am reallyoptimistic and excited about the talent that I see. I’m lookingforward to getting started.”

The Hawks return all seven point scorers from last year’sAtlantic 10 Championship in seniors Lauren Hehir (31st), EmilyChaundy (57th), Kathryn Cols (85th), and Sara Radzwilka(88th) and sophomores Sydney Coughlin (92nd), June Chiango(93rd), and Julia Jenkins (95th).

Hehir and Radzwilka will enter their second seasons as cap-tains for the Crimson and Gray.

Saint Joseph’s 2014 Most Outstanding Performer afterleading the Hawks in all eight races last season, Hehir returnsfor her fourth and final season in 2015. Hehir finished 31st at2014 A-10s and has scored at three consecutive A-10 meets.The senior standout turned in four top-20 finishes throughouther first four races of season and owns 5k (17:50) and 6k(21:39.2) collegiate-bests heading into the fall.

The senior trio of Chaundy, Cols, and Radzwilka will addveteran depth to the top of SJU’s running group. All threeHawks raced seven times apiece last season and finished sec-ond, third, and fourth, respectively, at A-10s. Chaundy (23:24),Cols (23:27.6), and Radzwilka (23:15.6) destroyed their 6k col-legiate-bests last season and while Chaundy was SJU’s #2 run-ner at A-10s and Radzwilka was SJU’s #2 runner at the NCAAMid-Atlantic Regional Championship, Cols scored as all sevenscorable meets.

Melody O’Reilly enters her first season as the head coach of the Saint Joseph'swomen's track and field and cross country programs in 2015-16. O'Reilly was namedthe head coach of the Hawks on August 6, 2015. Most recently the head girl' varsitytrack and field and cross country coach at Bishop Shanahan High School, O'Reilly is thethird head coach in program history.

“We are thrilled to have Melody join our coaching staff,” said Director ofAthletics Don DiJulia. “She fits our mission and vision, knows the area and collegiatelandscape, and has been a championship-level competitor, successful coach, and partof our community over the years. We look forward to partnering with her to developEveryday Champions with our student-athletes in the women's cross country andtrack programs.”

“Being named head coach of the women's cross country and track and field pro-grams at SJU is an honor,” said O’Reilly. “It won't be easy to step into Coach Quinn’sshoes, but I look forward to the challenge, and I hope I can uphold the strong tradi-tion of excellence and dedication to the sport that he has instilled in his athletes in thepast. I look forward to working with the wonderful young women at Saint Joseph’s.”

A collegiate middle distance standout, O’Reilly (nee Sye) spent the last two yearsas the head girls’ varsity track and field and cross country coach at Bishop ShanahanHigh School in Downingtown, Pa. She has served as the head track and field and crosscountry coach and program director for St. Elizabeth CYO and board member of theSt. Elizabeth Athletic Ministry since 2008.

O’Reilly replaces Kevin Quinn, who announced his retirement earlier this summerafter 49 seasons between the men’s and women’s programs at Saint Joseph’sUniversity.

Prior to her stint at Bishop Shanahan, O’Reilly served as the assistant coach forthe track and field and cross country programs at Haverford College from 1995-2002.

She was the head cross country coach at Friends Central School in 1994.A 1989 graduate of the University of Arkansas, O’Reilly held 10 school records upon graduation and was the first female

Razorback to be named an All-American five times in any sport – twice in cross country and once each in the indoor 1000 meters,indoor 1500 meters, and indoor mile. She went on to qualify for the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials and represented the United Stateson multiple national teams.

O’Reilly was inducted in the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, becoming the second female inductee inthe history of the University, the South Jersey Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2011, and the Southwest Conference Hall of Famein 2014, becoming the first female inductee from any sport at that school.

“Getting back into coaching at the collegiate level has been a goal of mine for a while,” added O’Reilly. “I'm so happy it'shere at St. Joe’s. I worked in the training room many years ago, and when I came back, many faces were still the same. It feelslike I'm coming home.”

O’Reilly is a USATF Level 1 certified coach and has coached athletes that have gone on to compete at the national levelwhile working at Haverford College, including standout Meredith Unger. O’Reilly also coached Pam Stevens, a visually-impaired400m runner, to the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

Sweeney Field, formerly known as Finnesey Field, hasbeen home to 10 different varsity squads at Saint Joseph’sUniversity in over 80 years of use. The track is the currenthome of the men’s and women’s track and field teams whilethe pitch is the current home of the men’s and women’s soc-cer teams and the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

Opened in 1929 as home to the SJU football squad, thefield has undergone numerous changes over the years. Themost recent upgrade occured this summer, as the TigerTurfthat was laid down in 2008 was replaced with FieldTurf andSaint Joseph’s track was resurfaced.

One of the largest municipal parks in the United States,Fairmount Park includes several excellent training venues forSaint Joseph's runners. The Hawks benefit from the use of theWissahickon Trail, Belmont Plateau, and both Martin LutherKing, Jr. and Kelly Drives (also known as West and East River Drives, respectively). All are just minutes away from Hawk Hill andare among the most favored spots for Philadelphia's running community.

The Belmont Plateau serves as SJU cross country’s home course. It is Philadelphia's primary high school and college crosscountry course and is considered one of the most challenging in the country.

One of the most famous mascots in college sports, the Saint Joseph's Hawk has beenflapping its wings for 59 years. The Hawk, which celebrated its golden anniversary in2005-06, is best known for staying in constant motion by flapping its wings throughoutevery basketball game and representing the Saint Joseph's motto, "The Hawk Will NeverDie."

Saint Joseph’s athletic teams have been recognized with the nickname “Hawks”since 1929. At that time, the school’s yearbook editor initiated a contest among the stu-dent body for a symbol. More than 100 submissions were narrowed, with “Hawks” win-ning out over “Grenadiers” by a slim margin. The name was appropriate because it typ-ified “the fighting spirit of our crimson and gray athletes and it is suggestive of the aeri-al attack which has made our football team famous.” Football, ironically, was discontin-ued at SJU following the 1939 season.

The Hawk mascot has garnered numerous accolades in its over 50-year history. It hasbeen selected as the nation’s top mascot by The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, SportsIllustrated for Kids, Street & Smith’s Basketball Yearbook, ESPN College Basketball maga-zine and was nominated for the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2008.

ATLANTIC 10 CONFERENCE

2015 SAINT JOSEPH’S WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY MEDIA GUIDE22

On March 2, 1975, the idea of what is nowthe Atlantic 10 Conference was conceived. Whatstarted as an eight-school, men’s basketball-onlyaffiliation has grown into a 14-university, 21-sport league that is universally hailed as one ofthe best conferences in the country, and is cele-brating its 40thanniversary in 2015-16.

That growth and prominence is a directresult of the ideals and commitments of themember institutions of the Atlantic 10 – DavidsonCollege, The University of Dayton, DuquesneUniversity, Fordham University, George MasonUniversity, The George Washington University, LaSalle University, University of Massachusetts,University of Rhode Island, University ofRichmond, St. Bonaventure University, SaintJoseph's University, Saint Louis University andVirginia Commonwealth University.

The Atlantic 10 was proactive in navigatingsweeping conference realignment over the lastfew years, adding Davidson College, GeorgeMason University and Virginia CommonwealthUniversity. The additions have proven successfulwith all three institutions winning regular seasonand tournament championships. The league con-tinues to draw national praise for its decisionsduring conference realignment in selecting strongacademic institutions with basketball-centric,robust athletic programs. The 14 member institu-tions of the A-10 are united and strengthened bytheir diversity. Each is extraordinary in its educa-tional mission, whether of a Catholic faith, a pri-vate university or a land grant institution. Thevaried pursuits of each member prove that thereare many threads that weave the fabric for agreat conference.

The Atlantic 10 Conference, with a total pop-ulation of over 76.5 million people within its geo-graphic footprint of eight states and the Districtof Columbia, will crown champions in 21 sportsthis year: baseball, men's and women's basket-ball, men's and women's cross country, fieldhockey, men's golf, women’s lacrosse, men's andwomen's indoor and outdoor track & field,women's rowing, men's and women's soccer,softball, men's and women's swimming & diving,

men's and women's tennis, and women's volley-ball.

The presidents and chancellors of Atlantic 10institutions, in conjunction with Atlantic 10Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade, havemade a strong commitment to making the aca-demic and athletics equation a successful one.Over the years, the league membership hasstrived to better recognize the academic accom-plishments of its student-athletes. TheCommissioner's Honor Roll, which cites everyAtlantic 10 student-athlete with a 3.5 grade pointaverage or better, recognized 3,029 student-ath-letes in 2014-15, a record for a 14-team A-10. Theleague sponsors Academic All-Conference teamsin each of its sports and honors two student-ath-letes as the A-10 Scholar-Athletes of the Year.Moreover, the Atlantic 10 provides $70,000 inpostgraduate scholarships awards to 14 student-athletes, one from each campus.

The Atlantic 10 Conference annually earnshigh marks in the NCAA Academic metrics. Thisincludes graduating its student-athletes at an 89percent rate according to the NCAA’s most recentGraduation Success Rate (GSR) figures, five per-centage points higher than the national average.There were 90 A-10 teams with a perfect 1000GSR score in the NCAA’s 2014 most recent report.The league also had an average AcademicProgress Rate (APR) of 985 in 2015, seven pointshigher than the national average. A record 60teams were singled out for public recognition fortheir APR scores by the NCAA this past spring.There were 51 teams with a perfect APR score of1000 and another 71 teams that scored a 990 inthe 2015 report.

Success on the playing field has mirrored theA-10’s classroom prowess, with the league earn-ing NCAA postseason bids in each of its 21 sports,including two men’s soccer bids and 11 men’s andwomen’s basketball bids in 2014-15. Daytonwomen’s basketball made a run to the Elite Eight,challenging eventual national champion UConn inthe process, while VCU baseball advanced to the2015 NCAA Super Regionals.

THE UNIVERSITY

Founded in 1851, Saint Joseph’s is anindependent, Catholic, Jesuit universityteaching disciplined reasoning, effectivecommunication and a love of learning. FromWillings Alley in Old City Philadelphia to StilesStreet in North Philadelphia to its currentlocation on City Avenue, Saint Joseph’s hascontinued to grow and change with thetimes. The University combines the Jesuit tra-dition of academic excellence, a history ofservice and an ideal campus location to pro-duce successful students who strive to makea good world even better.

Full-time, undergraduate day enrollmentcomprises approximately 4,670 students.Graduate, evening and executive programspush total enrollment to more than 8,000 stu-dents.

THE JESUIT TRADITION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCESaint Joseph’s nationally-recognized aca-

demic reputation is confirmed by ongoingacknowledgment in Barron’s, U.S. News &World Report and Peterson’s. The Jesuit tra-dition of intellectual inquiry and personalconcern manifests itself in small, challengingclasses taught by a caring faculty. Graduateassistants do not teach, so undergraduatescan be sure they are receiving the very besteducational experience from trained experts.One-on-one interaction between studentsand faculty is a reality at Saint Joseph’s.

A solid liberal arts curriculum providesacross-the-board learning for every student.Supporting that curriculum are comprehen-sive academic majors and learning facilities.The result is a broad education that preparesstudents not only for employment and grad-uate school, but for life itself.

In the fall of 1998, SJU opened the $25million Owen A. Mandeville Hall, which hous-es the Erivan K. Haub School of Business, theCenter for Food Marketing and the region'sfirst "Teletorium" and "Moot Boardrooms."An 87,000-square-foot international academ-ic center featuring state-of-the-art distancelearning technology, it is located near thecorner of 54th Street and City Avenue.

A HISTORY OF SERVICEThe students of Saint Joseph’s University

are dedicated to making today’s world evenbetter. A natural spirit of volunteerism hasenabled the University’s community serviceprograms to become the most popularextracurricular activities on campus. In addi-tion, a Service Learning program allows stu-dents to receive academic credit for theirwork outside the classroom.

SJU offers local, national and internation-al opportunities for student service. From

North Philadelphia to Camden, N.J.; fromNew Orleans to the Appalachian Mountains,Saint Joseph’s students embrace the Jesuitmission of serving those in need. TheThanksgiving Dinner Dance for area seniorcitizens and the Hand-in-Hand Festival forthe handicapped are two annual student-runevents that draw thousands of special visitorsto campus for fun and friendship.

IDEAL CAMPUS LOCATIONSJU’s City Avenue location combines the

best of dynamic Philadelphia with the subur-ban, residential setting of the elegant MainLine. Saint Joseph’s 65 acres span two coun-ties, allowing students to literally enjoy thebest of both worlds. The city of Philadelphia,with its tremendous wealth of historical, cul-tural, social and athletic attractions, is easilyaccessible, while the safety, serenity andgreenery of a suburban campus are right athand.

The friendly atmosphere and close-knitcampus ensure that students don’t get lost ineither the literal or the figurative sense atSaint Joseph’s. Expanded library, computerand athletic facilities add a big-time “feel” tothis growing university.

SUCCESSFUL STUDENTSMen and women leave Saint Joseph’s

prepared. The University boasts an excellentrecord of placing its graduates in first-timejobs, professional schools and other

advanced degree programs. Part-time workand internships provide real-world experi-ences, the kind which delight future employ-ers. And with its many diverse student organ-izations, SJU offers ample opportunities toassume leadership positions.

An extensive on-campus recruitmentprogram provides graduates with a headstart in their employment search. Regularmeetings with faculty advisors, along withadvisory programs in the health professionsand in pre-law, assist students who wish to fur-ther their schooling.

PHILADELPHIASJU’s Philadelphia location gives students

access to two worlds. The campus resemblesa park, surrounded by the stately homes ofPhiladelphia’s historic Main Line suburbs.Yet students have access to the cultural,commercial and recreational activities ofdowntown Philadelphia -– only a short rideaway. SJU students take frequent advantageof the artistic and cultural resourcesPhiladelphia offers, as well. They visit thePhiladelphia Museum of Art; thePennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; theFranklin Institute Science Museum; theAcademy of Music, which houses ballet andopera; and the new Kimmel Center, home tothe Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition, SJUstudents enjoy rooting for Philadelphia’steams in the four major professional sportsleagues.
