MITCHELL BAKER

ASSISTANT COACH

GEORGETOWN

Mitchell Baker is entering in the fall of 2025 his eighth year at Georgetown, his sixth overall as the lead women's cross country, middle and long distance coach. Prior to Georgetown, Baker began his coaching career at the high school level in New York City (two years) before moving to the NCAA Division III level and his alma mater, Williams College (four years); after Williams he served as the Head Coach of Women's Cross Country at Brown University in the Ivy League (seven years).

  • AT GEORGETOWN

    In the five years leading the women's distance group at Georgetown, the cross country team has secured five consecutive Big East Championships (their first consecutive victories in program history), five consecutive Top-Twenty NCAA finishes, and Top-Ten NCAA finishes in two of the last three campaigns. In that same span three different Hoyas have won the individual Big East cross country title, and in each of those five seasons at least one athlete from the program has earned NCAA All-America honors.

    Additionally, in the last ten competitive seasons - cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field - dating back to the spring of 2022, at least one athlete under Baker's guidance has earned either a cross country Top-40 All-America finish or a NCAA 1st-Team All-America honor on the track, a distinction only three other women's distance programs in the NCAA can claim over the same time period. In just the last year, two athletes recorded All-Time Top-10 NCAA marks in the Mile (4:24.98) and 5,000m (15:05.40), respectively, four athletes broke 9:00 for 3,000m (8:50, 8:52, 8:56, 8:59), six ran the equivalent of 4:36 for the Mile, or better, two more ran 15:45 or better for 5,000m (15:05 and 15:45), and one athlete recorded the 11th fastest 10,000m in NCAA history (31:41.68).

    His athletes hold indoor program records in the Mile, 3,000m, 5,000m, and Distance Medley Relay, and outdoor program records in the 1,500m, 3,000m, 5,000m, 10,000m, 4x1500 and Distance Medley Relay.
