A 14-time U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Regional Coach of the Year, Kristen Morwick is one of the nation's most successful women’s track & field and cross country leaders. New this year, Morwick transitions into a role as Head Coach of Track & Field/Assistant Coach of Cross Country under recently-hired Director of Track & Field and Cross Country at Tufts Jamie Norton.

Coach Morwick is currently in her 25th season at Tufts. Under her guidance, over 45 Jumbos have achieved over 115 All-American honors and won eight NCAA Division III championships titles, which includes two-time (2022 and 2023) Indoor High Jump National Champion Jaidyn Appel and 2022 NCAA Indoor Triple Jump Champion Lia Rotti. Brittany Bowman was the 5,000 meters Indoor National Champion in 2018, and Jana Hieber won the 2014 NCAA Outdoor 400-meter Hurdles Championship. Tufts' distance medley relay earned back-to-back National Titles in 2008-09. Jessica Trombly also won the NCAA 400-meter Hurdles in 2004.

On the cross country course during Morwick's tenure, Tufts’ Danielle Page posted the best NCAA finish in team history with a third place in 2021. She was also sixth at the 2019 NCAA Championship Race. Leslie Crofton was fifth overall at the 2000 NCAA Cross Country meet in Morwick's first season with the Jumbos. Page in 2021 and Katy O'Brien in 2006 won New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) races under Morwick's guidance. Bowman won the NCAA New England Regional cross country race in 2016, while Natalie Bettez won the all-divisions New England Championship race in 2018, the first Tufts runner to do so since 1975.

Morwick has also overseen great team success in both sports. Fifteen times in track & field Tufts has placed among the top 20 teams at the NCAA Championships during her time. The Jumbos' sixth-place finish outdoors in 2021 was the team's highest NCAA outdoor finish since 1991. Tufts was seventh indoors in 2023 after placing eighth in 2022. The 2023 outdoor team earned a ninth-place NCAA finish. Morwick's Tufts team was fifth indoors in 2009 and sixth indoors in 2008. The Jumbos placed ninth at the 2021 NCAA Cross Country Championship race, the fifth time the team had finished among the top 10 nationally since 2015. Morwick coached the 2006 cross country team that posted the program's best-ever fifth-place effort nationally.

At the New England Division III Track & Field Championships, Morwick's Tufts teams won indoor titles in 2008 and 2013. The Jumbos were the NESCAC track & field champions in 2013. In cross country, Tufts was the NCAA Regional champion in 2021.

Morwick's student-athletes also performed at a high level academically. During her time at Tufts, nine Jumbos earned the prestigious Academic All-America® award presented by College Sports Communicators (previously CoSIDA). That includes three Jumbos receiving the honor in 2023 - Rotti for the second time in her career, Appel and Kelsie Hao.

The Jumbos have been community service leaders under Coach Morwick as well. They have participated in the Jog Your Memory Run to raise money for Alzheimer's, volunteer at the Tufts 10K road race and have a number of student-athletes who work with Special Olympics.

Coach Morwick is a four-time USTFCCCA Cross Country Regional Coach of the Year, winning twice at Tufts (2015 and 2017) and twice in her previous role at Williams College. She has earned USTFCCCA indoor and outdoor track & field Regional Coach of the Year recognition ten times, most recently receiving the honor for the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2023. The NESCAC Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2015, she received the conference's track & field Coach of the Year awards in 2012, 2013 and 2021. 

A 1988 graduate of Dartmouth College, Morwick was previously the head coach of cross country and a track & field assistant at Williams. At Dartmouth, she competed in the multi-events and held the high jump record for several years. She was also a member of the basketball team.

Morwick began her coaching career at Tufts as an assistant under Branwen Smith-King. Hired at Williams in 1996, Morwick's cross country teams there qualified for the NCAA national championship race from 1996-99, placing 5th in 1996 and 3rd in 1999.
