Kevin Semanick , Assistant Coach

Kevin Semanick joined the Emory Track and Field staff prior to the 2007-08 season. His responsibilities include working with the sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and vaulters.

Kevin comes to Emory from Rhodes College (Tenn.), where he served as an assistant coach for the sprints, hurdles, and jumps, credited with turning their sprint program around. During his two-year tenure, his athletes broke nine school records and five conference championship records, while winning nine events at the 2007 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) championship meet. Additionally, for the first time in several years, Rhodes sprinters and jumpers competed in the NCAA National Championships. Rhodes women had qualifiers in the long jump, triple jump, 200-meter dash, 400-meter dash, 4x100 meter relay, and 4x400 meter relay. The 4x400 meter relay team had the distinction of being the first ever women’s relay team from the SCAC to compete at NCAA National Championships.

Earning his undergraduate degree at The College of New Jersey, Kevin was a two-time All-American in the 4x400 meter relay. He was also a two-time Academic All-American in the 400 meter hurdles. He continues to compete in the 400 meter hurdles with a personal best of 52.20 and has won several recent invitationals. Graduating in 2004, Kevin majored in both statistics and finance.

“He is a bright, articulate, and experienced individual,” Coach Curtin said, “who will make a great addition to our coaching staff.”
