Rutgers has shaken up its men’s and women’s cross country and track and field coaching staff.

Longtime women’s cross country and track and field head coach James Robinson will not have his contract renewed after 13 seasons, men’s associate track and field head coach Robert Farrell has been promoted to director of both the men’s and women’s track and field and cross country programs and Mike Mulqueen is now the men’s and women’s cross country head coach, the school announced Tuesday night.

Mulqueen had been the men’s track and men’s cross country head coach. Women’s track & field assistant coaches Marina Muncan and Louis Tomlinson remain on staff.

“Robert is regarded as one of the nation’s up-and-coming track & field coaches for good reason,” athletics director Pat Hobbs said in a release. “It’s a tribute to not only his talent, but the mentorship provided to him by coach Mulqueen. Retaining and strategically positioning the skill sets of Robert and Mike is a win for our student-athletes and for Rutgers Athletics. We look forward to a very bright future for our men’s and women’s track & field and cross country programs.

“James is an alum and former team captain who dedicated much time and effort to Rutgers athletics. We wish him the best moving forward.”

Farrell has spent the past seven seasons as a men’s track and field assistant, including the last three as associate head coach. He was the 2019 Mid-Atlantic men’s assistant coach of the year. Mulqueen is a six-time conference coach of the year and five-time NCAA district coach of the Year, who recently finished his 40th season at Rutgers and 37th as men’s head coach.
