Davidson College Women's Cross Country

Jen Straub, the longest tenured coach at Davidson College, is in her 26th season with the Wildcats and 11th as the Director of Track & Field / Cross Country, which she was elevated to in 2014 after leading both women's programs for 14 years. Hired in 2000, Straub has overseen the program's shift from the Southern Conference to the Atlantic 10 Conference as well as transition into the brand new Lisa and Jeff Case Track & Field Complex, which opened in 2025. In addition to a program-best third-place finish at the 2017 Atlantic 10 Cross Country Championships, Straub has guided the Wildcats to new heights in track & field since joining the league in 2014, highlighted by a school-record 75.5 points in 2024. She has had nine all-conference performers on the trails, two Most Outstanding Rookies, and four all-academic selections.
