  Hannah Chappell-Dick was named the head coach of the Amherst College men's and women's cross country program in July 2023, and oversaw her first season at the helm in the fall of 2023.

Under her supervision, Amherst runner Harrison Dow '27 was named the NESCAC Men's Cross Country Rookie of the Year. Additionally, she and her coaching staff earned 2023 NESCAC Coaching Staff of the Year honors. Both the men's and women's teams earned NCAA berths, and both teams placed 18th in the nation.

She spent two years with the Gators (2019-21) where she assisted in coaching four NCAA Division I All-Americans while also supervising practices and training in addition to receiving her MBA.
  
  "Hannah gets the D3 model from being a five-time All-American athlete at Eastern Mennonite and is committed to supporting students on and off the course and track," Director of Athletics Don Faulstick said upon her hiring. "She's worked with some of the most respected distance minds and athletes in the country – we're excited that she'll bring those experiences to our teams. I am excited to have her join our staff."
  
  Before Florida, Chappell-Dick was a volunteer assistant coach at Georgia Tech from 2018-19. There, Chappell-Dick helped the women's cross country program earn its first NCAA Championship appearance since 2001. On the men's side, she assisted in coaching an NCAA All-American and USA Semifinalist.
