Ursuline Academy of Dallas Athletics is excited to announce Rachel Voorhees as the new Head Cross Country Coach.

Coach Voorhees has been a valued member of the Ursuline coaching staff since 2021, serving as an assistant coach with the cross-country program for five seasons and assisting with track in 2024. She steps into the head coaching role following a period of notable success for the program, including state runner-up finishes in 2025 and state championships in 2023 and 2024. She looks forward to continuing that momentum while fostering both team excellence and individual growth.
