COACHING STAFF

Joanna

HAYES The Sherie L. and Donald G. Morrison Director of Track & Field and Cross Country 1st Season at UCLA UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame member and Olympic gold medalist Joanna Hayes returned to UCLA as the new The Sherie L. and Donald G. Morrison UCLA Director of Track & Field/Cross Country on June 17, 2024. Hayes previously served as an assistant coach for the Bruins from 2014-16 and for USC from 2017-24.

“I am honored to return to UCLA as the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country. This opportunity represents a full circle moment for me, and I am grateful to Martin Jarmond for trusting me to lead this esteemed program and uphold its strong legacy,” said Hayes. “As Director, I am committed to guiding this program with values rooted in respect, passion, discipline, family, and community engagement. I am ready to embark on this journey, as it brings me back to the joy and excitement I felt 30 years ago on signing day when I first became a Bruin. I’m ready to win some championships alongside our dedicated alumni, staff, student-athletes, and the Bruin fans and supporters!”

A six-time All-American at UCLA from 1996-99, Hayes won seven Pac-10 titles and the 1999 NCAA outdoor title in the 400m hurdles. She led UCLA to three-straight Pac-10 team titles and two-straight NCAA runner-up finishes, and her Bruin teams went 39-0 in dual meets in her career. At the Pac-10 level, Hayes won three-straight 100m hurdles titles from 1996-98 and twostraight 400m hurdles crowns from 1996-97. In 2004, she won Olympic gold, breaking a 16-year Olympic record with a winning time of 12.37 in the 100m hurdles. Also that year, she won the 2004 Jesse Owens Award as USA Track & Field’s outstanding female athlete and finished as the No. 1-ranked 100m hurdler in the world. Additionally, she won gold in the 400m hurdles at the 2003 Pan American Games.

Pac-12 Women’s Track Athlete of the Year and won a pair of NCAA titles in 2024, taking the outdoor 400m hurdles title with a school and meet record, and winning the indoor 60m title. Hayes was a volunteer assistant coach in 2021 when the Trojans won the NCAA Women’s Outdoor title.

Olympians Sydney McLaughlin and Rai Benjamin are among the elite athletes Hayes has trained. McLaughlin is the current world record holder in the 400m hurdles, and Benjamin ranks No. 2 in the world and No. 1 in the USA. Benjamin won his first individual gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, capturing the top mark in the 400m hurdles at the summer games.

In her previous coaching stint at UCLA, Hayes was an assistant sprints, hurdles and relays coach. In her first season in 2014, she coached Brea Buchanan and Trinity Wilson to the NCAA finals in the 100m hurdles. Hayes also guided the women’s 4x100m relay team to the NCAA Championship meets in 2015 and 2016.

Hayes, who graduated from UCLA in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Eric Thomas, and daughters, Zoe and Aly.

“I am excited to bring Joanna back home to UCLA,” remarked the Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond. “Her credentials as an Olympic gold medalist, NCAA Champion, Hall of Fame athlete and awardwinning coach speak for itself. Her passion, energy and vision for UCLA track and field make her the right choice to lead this program.”

“Winning has been in Joanna’s DNA, from her high school athletic days, to becoming a champion student-athlete at UCLA and an Olympic gold medalist, to her successful coaching career,” said UCLA Athletics Hall of Famer Jeanette Bolden. “She is now bringing that winning DNA to the men’s and women’s program at UCLA. I could not be happier for Joanna and her family.”

At USC, Hayes earned USTFCCCA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year honors four times, most recently being selected for the 2024 outdoor season with the women after her hurdlers scored 16 of the Trojans’ 25 points at the NCAA Championships, where USC finished 10th. She was the 2023 and 2024 indoor men’s assistant of the year, coaching a pair of Trojans to the top two times in the nation in the 60m hurdles during the 2023 indoor campaign. Her first award came in 2018, when two USC hurdlers won Pac-12 titles and four of her 100m hurdlers advanced to the NCAA Championships.

Hayes’ athletes have been among the most successful at USC during her time with the team. Anna Cockrell won (three?) NCAA and (three?) Pac-12 titles and went on to compete at the Olympics. Jasmine Jones was the 2024 5

FERRIS

Phillippy

Andrew Ferris joined the UCLA track & field and cross country coaching staff on October 5, 2023, as announced by UCLA Athletics. Ferris enters his second campaign with the Bruins to start the 2024-25 school year.

During 2023-24, Ferris was responsible for guiding the cross country team and distance runners on the track for the 800m through 10,000m events. In his first season with UCLA track & field, he helped junior Mia Kane capture the Pac-12 individual title in the 3,000m steeplechase. With Ferris’ guidance, senior Michael Mireles finished as the Conference runner-up in men’s 5,000m race. The Bruins also claimed eight marks on UCLA’s all-time top 10 lists in indoor and outdoor distance events.

Ferris boasts 14 All-Americans and 21 champions under his supervision in his NCAA coaching career. He also coaches Maël Gouyette, who will represent France in the men’s 1500m at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Prior to his arrival in Westwood, Ferris served as an assistant coach at Iona University from 2021-23. He coached three All-Americans and saw four school records with the Gaels.

Ferris also coached at Wake Forest University from 2017-21. He helped Deacons earn All-America honors eight times, set eight program records and claim four ACC event titles.

He mentored Robert Heppenstall en route to five All-America finishes at Wake Forest, as he won three league titles in the 800m before signing a pro contract with the District Track Club in 2019. Heppenstall also set four program records under Ferris in the indoor and outdoor 800m, the indoor 1000m and outdoor 1500m.

In cross country, Ferris helped the Wake Forest men’s program post top-five finishes in back-to-back years (2018-19) for the first time since 2000-01, when there were only nine programs in the ACC. In his first season with the Deacon men’s cross country team (2017), the men improved from eighth to sixth at the conference meet, the highest finish since 2010. Freshman Mitchell Day earned All-ACC honors after finishing 13th to become the program’s first-ever male ACC Freshman of the Year honoree and first All-Conference recipient since 2005.

Other All-ACC honorees under Ferris include Archie Wallis (2019-20) and Johanna Schulz (2019-20), while Aaron Las Heras won a European U-20 title in the 5000m in 2019.

Off the track, the men’s program won the Dean’s Cup for highest team GPA three straight years from 2017-19.

Prior to his stint in Winston-Salem, Ferris worked as the Head Coach at Emmanuel College where he coached multiple state and national medalists, including two Australian Steeplechase Champions, two Australian Champion teams, 38 Australian Junior Championship qualifiers and an Oceania Women’s Champion.

Ferris has progressed to a level three coaching qualification, one of the highest accreditations offered in Australia. He was also an Apprenticeship Coach at the Altis World Athletics Center, an elite athlete and coach training organization that improves performances of both athletes and coaches. He also has Level 1 Strength and Conditioning certification through ASCA. Ferris attended the Ipswich Grammar School where he graduated in 2001. From there, he achieved a Bachelor of Health Science in 2009 from Griffith University in South East Queensland, Australia.

ADMINISTRATOR BIOGRAPHIES

Martin Jarmond Director of Athletics 5th Year UNC Wilmington ‘01 Martin Jarmond, a nationally recognized leader in college athletics, has built an impressive track record of competitive excellence, innovative strategy and student athlete success. A two-time recipient of Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 Award with 20 years in sports administration spanning three conferences, Jarmond has guided UCLA to new heights through his culture of an E.L.I.T.E. mindset – Energy, Leadership, Integrity, Toughness and Excellence.

Jarmond’s results-driven strategies combined with a relentless work ethic to elevate UCLA Athletics has helped to create an exceptional experience for student-athletes and fans alike. Over Jarmond’s first three years in Westwood, UCLA has won three NCAA championships in the sports of men’s water polo (2020), women’s soccer (2022) and men’s volleyball (2023). In June of 2022, Jarmond worked closely with campus leadership while playing a critical role in UCLA Athletics applying and being accepted for future membership in the Big Ten Conference. One of the most important announcements in the history of UCLA Athletics, the Bruins will join the Big Ten Conference in 2024.

Jarmond was hired on May 19, 2020, as UCLA’s Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics, becoming the ninth athletic director in school history. He made an immediate impact on the Bruins, jumpstarting the Voting Matters Initiative, the first of its kind in the country which assisted student-athletes in discovering the tools needed to exact meaningful change through civic duty. Jarmond engineered a partnership between UCLA and Nike/Jordan Brand, becoming only the fifth Jordan brand school in the nation and the first partnership with Nike in UCLA history. The six-year agreement between UCLA and Nike provides for 22 of the 25 UCLA varsity sports with Nike apparel, while football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball don Jordan Brand. Jarmond exhibits a strong commitment to mental health awareness and his emphasis on diversity and inclusion was recognized in a 2021 SBJ award for being a national leader in diversity and inclusive hiring. He was the Pac-12 Conference representative to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for 2021-22.

Through Jarmond’s instrumental leadership, UCLA Athletics has positioned itself at the forefront of a rapidly-changing collegiate athletics landscape. In the burgeoning area of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), Jarmond and UCLA Athletics launched the “Westwood Ascent,” which is a comprehensive NIL program that supports UCLA’s student-athletes, helping them build their personal brands and maximize their NIL opportunities.

In addition, the “Westwood Exchange” was established as a free business registry designed for companies, donors, fans and alumni that want to connect directly with UCLA’s studentathletes interested in capitalizing on their NIL. Extensive work by Jarmond and his staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic ensured that all Bruin teams could compete safely during the 2020-21 academic year. UCLA’s athletic teams won four conference titles that year and the men’s water polo program won its 12th national championship in the spring of 2021. The men’s basketball team embarked on a remarkable journey, advancing from the First Four to the 2021 NCAA Final Four, UCLA’s first national semifinal appearance since 2008. These athletic achievements were balanced by record numbers of student-athletes earning spots on the conference all-academic squads, with 49 individuals earning a perfect 4.0 GPA for the Winter Quarter, and 131 student-athletes earning their UCLA degrees. For the first time ever, the Bruins produced multiple winners of the NCAA Elite 90 Award. Four student-athletes were recognized by CoSIDA as Academic All-Americans.

Jarmond came to UCLA from Boston College, where he served as the school’s Director of Athletics for three years.

During his time there, he orchestrated the Eagles’ first-ever strategic plan, a comprehensive five-year goal to advance the program by fostering student-athlete formation, strengthening competitive excellence, increasing external engagement and enhancing facilities. The strategic plan was supported by BC’s first-ever athletics-only capital campaign, at the time, the largest campaign of any Atlantic Coast Conference institution at $150 million. Jarmond hired high-impact coaches in football, women’s basketball, softball, volleyball, swimming & diving, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and fencing. Jarmond served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee and on the John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors.

Prior to joining Boston College in 2017 and becoming the youngest athletic director of any Power Five institution at age 37, Jarmond previously served as deputy director of athletics at Ohio State, moving up the ranks after arriving as an associate athletic director for development in 2009. During his time at Ohio State, he was the lead administrator for a variety of sports, including football and men’s basketball, and directed external and internal relations and day-today operations. He also had responsibility for football scheduling, served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Committee, and was a member of the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Advisory Group and the Rose Bowl Advisory Committee. As Ohio State Athletics’ chief advancement officer, Jarmond helped raise more than $120 million between 2010-2012.

Jarmond was also an assistant athletic director for development for seven years at Michigan State, where he served on the athletic director’s executive leadership team. He was a key member of the $1.2 billion “Campaign for MSU” development team and a liaison between Michigan State’s university development and alumni association leadership. Jarmond led the efforts to implement Scholarship Seating in football and Courtside seating in men’s basketball.

A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jarmond, 42, earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. A two-year captain of the men’s basketball team, he led his team to the program’s first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2000 and earned Colonial Athletic Association All-Academic honors in 2001. He holds both a M.B.A. and a master’s in sports administration from Ohio University. Jarmond is married to Dr. Jessica Jarmond, a dentist.

They have three daughters: Scarlett, Savannah and Serena.

Gavin Crew Associate Athletic Director 9th Year UCLA ‘99 Gavin Crew was named Associate Athletic Director for Sports and Administration in April 2016. He has spent over a decade with the Bruins, from 2001-2005 and 2008-present.

Crew oversees eight sports in his role - men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s track & field (indoor and outdoor), women’s track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s soccer and women’s swimming and diving. Additionally, he supervises the Camps & Clinics office and serves as tournament director for NCAA, Pac-12 and MPSF Championship hosting.

In his first stint in the UCLA Athletics Department, he oversaw the expansion of the Camps & Clinics office to a year-round business operation, managing the growing demand for athletic camp operations in Westwood. From 2005-2008, Crew worked with Excel Sports Officiating to help train and work with officials, umpires and referees in all sports and at all levels. Upon his return to UCLA in 2008, Crew once again oversaw the camp office and added championship coordinator to his plate. In addition to continuing the growth of the camp operation into a $4 million revenue generator for the Athletic Department, he has also executed several major NCAA, Pac-12 and MPSF Championships on campus, including the 2013 NCAA National Collegiate Gymnastics Championship, 2013 NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship, 2015 Pac-12 Track & Field Championship, 2014, 2016 and 2017 NCAA Women’s Basketball 1st/2nd Rounds, 2015 NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Water Polo Championships, and the 2016 NCAA National Collegiate Women’s Water Polo Championships.

Crew graduated with a degree in Political Science from UCLA in 1999.

Originally from Irvine, Calif., Crew lives in the Silver Lake neighborhood with his wife, Cassidy.
