Amanda Kennedy is the newest addition to the Mount Saint Mary College coaching staff. She was hired as the Assistant Throws Coach after her four years of NCAA eligibility at the Division 1 Level.
 
A Pittsburgh native, Kennedy competed for Marshall University as a javelin thrower for all four years of her collegiate career. During her freshman year at Marshall, she broke the standing school record and qualified for both NCAA prelims and the USATF Nationals.
