Sinead Delahunty Evans enters her second season at her alma mater as an assistant coach of the women’s cross-country and track and field teams. She joined Ray Treacy’s staff after a year as an assistant coach at Boston College, where she was responsible for coaching the women’s middle-distance athletes and helping recruit top level NCAA talent.
Delahunty Evans’ first season in 2024-25 saw lots of success for the Friars. In the fall, the women's cross country team qualified for the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championship and placed third overall, the program's seventh top-three finish all-time and its best result since winning the national title in 2013. Delahunty Evans was instrumental in assisting seven BIG EAST Champions throughout the season. The women’s DMR team (Flockhart, Fenerty, O’Neill, May) finished third at the NCAA Indoor Championships after winning the BIG EAST title for the second year in a row. At the 2025 Penn Relays, the Friars won the 4x1,500 Championship of America in a program record time of 16:59.65, the third-fastest time in collegiate history. Four Friars qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the program’s highest total since 1998. May led the way with a First Team All-America finish in the 1,500 meters (6th), while Millard (5,000 meters) and O’Neill (800 meters) were named Second Team All-Americans. Flockhart rounded out her season with All-America Honorable Mention recognition after competing in the 1,500-meter semifinals.
During her short time at BC, Delahunty Evans had a significant impact on the program, coaching three of the top five athletes on the team that took 2nd place at the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Northeast Regional Championship to gain an automatic berth to the NCAA Championship, where the team would finish in 26th place. She also coached three of the four athletes on the DMR teams that would run a school record time of 10:50.00 and finish 9th at the NCAA Indoor Championship in Boston.
Prior to her time at BC, Delahunty Evans was the head men’s and women’s cross-country and track coach at Brandeis University, where she coached and mentored student athletes to 37 All- America honors, including Emily Bryson, one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the program, who won four national titles, and the women’s DMR team that won the 2019 NCAA DIII Indoor Championship title, the first in program history.
Delahunty Evans’ teams also shone at the national level, including the 2018 women’s cross-country team that finished a program best 6th place at the NCAA Championships, and the women’s indoor track and field team that took a 7th place finish at the 2019 NCAA Indoor Championships.
A 1993 graduate of Providence College, where she was a six-time All-America, Delahunty Evans was a two-time Olympian for her native Ireland, competing over 1500m at the 1996 and 2000 Games. She was inducted into the Friars' Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.
Delahunty Evans and her husband John '89, have three children Sean, Ciara and Jamie.
