Colaizzo Announces Promotion of Poole-Harris to Assistant Head Coach

Poole-Harris Elevated to Cross Country and Track and Field Assistant Head Coach

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – Marist Director of Cross Country and Track and Field Pete Colaizzo has announced the promotion of Billy Poole-Harris from assistant coach to assistant head coach.

"From the moment he joined us, Billy has elevated and improved every aspect of our program — coaching, recruiting, and administrative organization. He's been an integral resource during the planning for our new track facility," Colaizzo said. "In every way, he has made our athletes and our program better, and this promotion is well deserved."

Poole-Harris is entering his third season in Poughkeepsie after joining the program in August of 2023 as the lead assistant under Colaizzo. As an assistant, Poole-Harris helped lead the resurgence of the Marist track and field program, which included a record number of top-three finishes across the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Poole-Harris helped coach the men's indoor team to a fifth-place finish out of 10 teams at the MAAC Championships, the program's highest finish in the modern MAAC era. Under Poole-Harris' tutelage, 23 school records were broken during the 2025 indoor and outdoor track season, including current student-athletes recruited by Poole-Harris.
