Kevin Quinn is in his 38th year directing the SJU track and cross country programs, including the last 18 as the head of the women's programs. A 1962 SJU graduate, Quinn joined the Hawk athletic staff as the men's cross country and track coach in the fall of 1966. In 1985, he added the duties of the women's cross country and track program and has been the team's coach for the past 18 years. SJU's Director of Track and Field was named to his current position of assistant athletic director for facilities in July of 1989.

An outstanding educator, teacher and motivator, Quinn has led the Hawk track program to great success during his tenure. His men's cross country teams won two Big Five Championships, while his 1984 men's track team recorded a seventh-place finish at the IC4A Championships.

More recently, under Quinn's tutelage the 1997 track team set 10 new school records including the first ever women's Penn Relays win by the 4x800 relay team. He coached the 1993 women's cross country team to the Atlantic 10 Championship title, the first-ever won by a women's sport at SJU. That same team also finished 7th in the ECAC Championships. In 2000, Quinn again coached the women's team to an Atlantic 10 Championship victory, earning conference coach of the year honors. Last season, eight school records were broken under Quinn's watchful eye.

A past president of the IC4A and the ECAC coaches association, as well as the District Representative to the NCAA Coaches' Association, Quinn has coached four men and two women's All-Americans, including an NCAA Champion. He also served as Honorary Referee (College Men) at the 1990 Penn Relays.

An outstanding athlete in his own right, Quinn once held the school records in the mile and two mile runs. A charter member of the SJU Track Hall of Fame, he placed third in the 1961 IC4A Cross Country Championships and was the first American finisher in the race. For his dedication and achievements, Quinn was inducted into Saint Joseph's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001.

The 61-year-old resides in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. with his wife Marie. They are the parents of six children (Kevin, Marie, Sean, Kathleen, Colleen and Brendan).
