CINCINNATI - Xavier cross country and track and field head coach Sam Burroughs announced the promotion of Lauren Etheridge to associate head coach on Friday.

"Coach Etheridge has been a tremendous asset to our program," said Burroughs. "Almost all of our women's outdoor distance records have been broken since she has come on staff. Coach Etheridge's knowledge in strength and conditioning sets her apart from most in our sport. I am delighted to see her promoted to this title."

Etheridge joined the Musketeers in August of 2021 as assistant coach. She also serves as the team's strength and conditioning coach.

During her time with the Musketeers, she has helped coach student-athletes to 93 top-10 finishes in the Xavier cross country and track and field record books - including nine school-record performances. Etheridge has also helped coach three runners who participated in the NCAA Track and Field East Regionals.
