PITTSBURGH – Head Cross Country/Track & Field Coach Jeff Gibson has announced the addition of former Duquesne standout Amy Allen to the coaching staff as an assistant coach for the 2025-26 season.

"We are thrilled to welcome Amy back to the Duquesne track & field family as a member of our coaching staff," said Coach Gibson. "Her dedication, work ethic, and leadership made a lasting impact on our program as a student-athlete, and I look forward to seeing the same influence she will have on our current and future Dukes as a coach."

Allen spent four seasons competing for the Dukes and etched her name in the record books as a six-time medalist across Atlantic 10 indoor and outdoor championships. The South Fayette, Pa. native was a seven-time ECAC Championship qualifier and a member of the gold-medal-winning 4x400m relay in 2023-24. She finished her career ranked among the top five in program history in the 400m (indoor and outdoor), 500m (indoor), 4x100m (outdoor), 4x200m (outdoor), 4x400m (indoor and outdoor), and distance medley relay (indoor).

In the classroom, Allen was a consistent member of the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll and a two-time A-10 All-Academic Indoor Team selection. While continuing her time with the program as a member of the coaching staff, she will also be completing her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Duquesne.
