Delhi, NY - SUNY Delhi is excited to announce key changes to the coaching staff within the athletic department. As part of a strategic effort to strengthen both the track & field and cross country programs, two of our coaches will be transitioning into new roles.
Head Track and Field Coach Alex Devine will take on an expanded role as the Assistant Cross Country Coach. "I am very excited to be a part of the first Delhi track & field team to have two full-time coaches on staff, said Devine. ‘Collaborating with Coach Brannan will enhance the student-athlete experience as it will allow for us to provide our student-athletes with specialization and attention that would otherwise not be possible. I look forward to watching this program grow under the new structure."
Jordan Brannan, previously the Head Swimming and Diving Coach, will also transition into a dual coaching role, assuming the position of Head Cross Country Coach while being the Assistant Track and Field Coach. “While this is a bittersweet moment to step away from my swimmers, I am excited to pour all my effort and time into the area where I can be most impactful, said Brannan. ‘Coach Devine and I make a great team when we give our athletes the best we can both individually offer—Coach Devine in the sprints and jumps and hurdles and myself in the distance running events. I believe this new setup will cater to our team's strengths.”
“This is a huge step for our storied cross country and track and field programs. Coach Brannan and Coach Devine both have already seen great success in their short time at Delhi, each leading multiple athletes to several new school records, said Robb Munro, Director of Athletics. ‘Having two full-time coaches for the first time in the program's history will allow for deeper rosters and more individualized attention to the event groups. As these programs transition into the SUNYAC, this is a huge step to being competitive at that level. We are very excited to see what this reorganization can do for the programs moving into the future.”
