A MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Dear Friar Family, Last year I thanked you for helping us lay the foundation for success in Friartown. This year we became champions. In November our women’s cross country team won the National Championship under the outstanding leadership of National Coach of the Year, Ray Treacy. Four months later our men’s basketball team took the floor at Madison Square Garden and captured the BIG EAST Championship for only the second time in the history of the College. There is tremendous excitement surrounding our programs and our success has brought national attention to Providence College. This can be seen through our partnership with Fox Sports 1 where every men’s basketball game is broadcast live on national television and on campus where in its first season since being renovated, Schneider Arena has become one of the toughest places in the nation to play. Championship people make championship organizations and none of this would be possible without your generous support. Thanks to you, we set a new fundraising record and used that money to provide our student-athletes with the resources to compete at the highest level. This upcoming year provides us with another opportunity to build on our championship foundation for success. Thanks for fueling Friartown. And remember, as always… Go Friars! Sincerely, Robert G. Driscoll Jr. Director of Athletics FRIARS FOREVER ANNUAL ATHLETIC REPORT 2013 NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS On Friday, April 11, 2014, Providence College Athletics held a ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize the official opening of the track that is named after the legendary Friar head coach, Ray Treacy ‘82. The Ray Treacy Track is located on Hendricken Field and will serve as the home of the Providence College men’s and women’s cross country and track and field teams. The new complex has a six-lane lane track with eight-lane straightaways, which encompasses a turf field. The turf field can be used for soccer, rugby and other intramural sports. The complex has seating for more than 300 fans, as well as a press box and a scoreboard. “The new track and field complex is an important addition to our program,” Providence College Director of Track and Cross Country Operations Ray Treacy said. “Not only will it benefit the track and field team, but the entire Providence College community will have use of this great facility. This track will allow us to continue competing at the highest level of NCAA competition.” RAY TREACY LEADER OF CHAMPIONS 30 Years as the Director of Cross Country and Track Operations at Providence College 2 National Championships (1995, 2013) 13 NCAA Northeast Regional Cross Country Championships 21 BIG EAST Cross Country titles 20 New England Championships 59 All-Americans who have received 164 All-America accolades 13 NCAA individual champions 43BIG EAST individual champions who have captured 112 BIG EAST titles 11 Olympians Mr. & Mrs. Brian T.
