Two Penn coaches received Coach of the Year awards: Steve Dolan, director of Track & Field and Cross Country, and Ray Priore, the George A. Munger Head Coach of Football.

Mr. Dolan was named the Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). He earned this prestigious recognition on the heels of leading the Quakers to a second-place finish at the Mid-Atlantic Regional and the program’s first NCAA Championship berth since 1975. In addition, Mr. Dolan piloted the Red and Blue to their best Ivy Heps showing since 1973 (2nd place) last month, and the program’s first national ranking since the establishment of the USTF-CCCA Poll in 1995.

In his first year at the helm of Penn Football and his 29th year overall with the Quakers, Mr. Priore was named Ivy League Coach of the Year. To receive the honor, he beat out seven other coaches— most notably his former boss, Columbia’s Al Bagnoli. Mr. Priore led his team back from an inconsistent 1-3 start and is one of only two coaches in Penn history to bring home an Ivy title in his first year as head coach.
