Susquehanna University Women's Cross Country

Owens enters his 12th seasons as the head coach of the Susquehanna University men's and women's cross country and track & field teams in 2014-15. Owens' teams won the first four Landmark Conference men's cross-country championships as well as the 2008 and 2010 women's cross-country titles. His men were also the 2008-09 Landmark indoor track & field champions. He has been the head of six Landmark Coaching Staffs of the Year. In 2012-13, he coached three-time Rookie of the Year Ashley West, the first athlete in Landmark Conference history to sweep all three Rookie of the Year awards (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track). In 2013-14, West became an indoor All-American in the 800 meter run and again qualified in the event during both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2014-15. Owens was previously an assistant cross country and track & field coach and later head indoor track & field coach at Westfield (Mass.) High School from April 2001 to June 2002. He was a member of the Fleet Feet Racing Team and has competed in a number of marathons and other road races around the country as well as the famed Ironman Triathlon World Championship in both 1995 and 1997. In 2002, Owens finished fourth in the Washington DC Marathon. He finished in the top 10 in the Vermont City Marathon in both 2000 and 2001. In 1998, Owens took second at the Atlantic City Marathon, and in 1999, he finished 13th in the Las Vegas International Marathon. Owens has also competed in half-marathons, winning the Las Vegas Track Club Half-Marathon in both 1998 and 1999 while finishing fourth at the New Bedford Half-Marathon in 2000. In 1999, Owens was named the Southern Nevada Male Runner of the Year. His personal record in the half-marathon is 1 hour, 8 minutes, 45 seconds, while his best marathon time is 2:27:32. He is a 1991 graduate of Ursinus College with a Bachelor of Science degree in health, physical education and recreation. Owens also pursued his Master of Science degree in exercise physiology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Ethan Senecal was named the director of the men’s and women’s cross country and track & field programs at Susquehanna prior to the start of the 2018-19 season. He came to SU after three seasons in the same position at Marywood University in Scranton, Pa. Senecal has transformed the Susquehanna track and field and cross country programs into a national power, as the River Hawk program is consistently talked about as a growing force in the region. Senecal has helped the River Hawks to 9 Landmark Conference championships during his time at SU, helping send 16 student-athletes to the NCAA Championships in cross country and track and field.  8
