Widener University Athletics

Kevin Cunningham, a former standout athlete for Widener, is in his fifth season as women’s track & field/cross country coach at his alma mater.

Cunningham took over after serving three years as an assistant coach and recruiting director for Widener’s men’s and women’s track & field and cross country programs. Among his many duties included designing strength and conditioning programs, serving as manager in charge for its home meets, coordinating fundraising activities and conducting annual alumni events.

His work paid big dividends as the men’s indoor and outdoor track & field teams won the Middle Atlantic Conference titles in 2010. This was Cunningham’s lone year as the program's top assistant coach after serving as a graduate assistant from 2007-09.

Cunningham was a vital part of the team’s growth as a student-athlete from 2001-06. Participating primarily in distance events, he helped the squad capture the 2006 MAC outdoor championship. Cunningham in his senior year was an assistant coach at Cardinal O’Hara High School, his alma mater.

He is certified on the USATF Level 1 since 2009 and on Level 2 in jumps since July of 2014.

Cunningham since 2007 served part time as a staff accountant for James Flanagan and Associates. He also was a staff auditor for Ernst and Young from 2006-07.

A nine-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll, Cunningham graduated Widener in 2006 with a double major in Accounting and Economics. He earned his Master’s of Education in December 2009.
