REUBEN JONES
Assistant Coach
Princeton
Reuben Jones began at Princeton as an assistant women’s track & field coach in August 2016.
Since joining the Tigers, Coach Jones has been recognized nationally as a leader in multi-event training theory. He is best known for simplifying complex concepts on movement and identifying skills and features that speed and power events have in common.
In his time at Princeton, Jones has coached fifteen Ivy League Champions, twenty eight All-Ivy honorees, three NCAA finalists and one U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier.

Fourteen school records, two Ivy League records, three Ivy League Field Performers of the Meet and one Ivy League Championship record have also been set under his watch.
The 60m, 300m and 4x400m relay indoor records were set as well as the 100m and 200m outdoor records under Jones’ watch. The 4x100m school record was set at the 2022 Outdoor Heps Championship where the quartet of Brianna Mponzi ’24, Nia Mosby ’24, Olivia Hee ’23, and Grace Lanouette ’22 won from lane two. In the hurdles, Coach Jones has coached Princeton’s #1 60m and 400m hurdlers (Isabella Hilditch ’22/Arianna Smith ‘23, 8.50; and Smith ’23, 57.84). This includes a Second-Team All-Ivy honor in 2019 from Randolph in the 100m hurdles and Smith in the 400m hurdles in 2023.

What to Expect
A MONTHLY Q&A SERIES FOR ALL
At Ascent Track, we believe in empowering coaches at all levels by providing direct access to the knowledge and experience of some of the best coaches that our sport has to offer.
Our “Office Hours” series is a free monthly initiative that works similarly to a professor's office hours in an academic setting – but of course, at Ascent Track, it’s all about cross country and track and field.
90 MINUTES OF EXPERT ADVICE
On the first Sunday of each month, we'll host a 90-minute, live online Q&A session where you'll be able to connect with some of the most accomplished and respected names in the sport.
Whether you're looking for advice on training concepts and workouts, competition preparation, program management, or anything else related to track & field or cross country, this is your opportunity to get personalized answers in a collaborative and supportive environment.
FREE FOR COACHES OF ALL LEVELS
Our sessions are open to any coach at any level, and there is no cost to participate.
We do, however, offer a donation option for those who wish to support the series and help us continue to provide it for free. (Side note: We always provide compensation to our coaches – we believe they should be paid for their services!)
