Gaffney Returns to Fitchburg State as Head Women's XC and Track & Field Coach
FITCHBURG, MA: Coach Gaffney is welcomed back to Fitchburg State as the new women’s cross country and track and field head coach. The 2018 Fitchburg State graduate will begin the next chapter of her coaching career at her alma mater.
The 2025 season will mark Coach Gaffney’s first season back in the green and gold. She returns from cross-town MASCAC rival Worcester State, where she spent six seasons as the assistant coach for the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field teams. Coach Gaffney served as the interim head coach from July to September 2023.
With the Lancers, she coached two championship teams: first, the women’s cross country team in 2018, and then the men’s cross country team in 2021, which won their first conference title. As a student-athlete, Gaffney finished in the top 10 twice at the MASCAC cross country championships. She was also a top scorer on the track team in the mile, 3K, and 1500.
