ARNOLD, MD – The Anne Arundel Community College athletic department is proud to welcome Susan Noble as the head women's cross country coach. Noble, an adjunct professor at the College, brings a wealth of running experience to her first collegiate head coaching position.

"I am excited to build on the successful program through camaraderie, smart workouts and fun," said Noble. "If it isn't fun, it isn't worth it."

Noble also brings vast experience as a marathon and half marathon coach as part of the Annapolis Striders, where she was vice president of training in education for eight years.

"I am thrilled to welcome Coach Noble to lead our women's cross country coaching staff," said Athletic Director Duane Herr. "She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and vast experience within the running world that will continue the excellence enjoyed by our women's cross country program. I am excited for the energy and guidance that she will bring to our student-athletes and program."
