ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – St. Bonaventure head cross country/track coach Bob Macfarlane has announced the addition of Matt Walter to the Bonnies coaching staff for the 2025-26 season. Walter will work exclusively with Bona's growing track program.

"We're thrilled to have Matt join our staff. His experience and knowledge in developing sprinters and hurdlers will be a tremendous asset to our program," Macfarlane said. "Matt's addition strengthens our commitment to providing comprehensive training for all of our track athletes and we're excited about the impact he'll make."

Walter was a collegiate track student-athlete at Lock Haven University where he was a two-time member of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.

Following graduation, the Bradford, Pa. native returned to the area as athletic director for Johnsonburg (Pa.) Area School District, overseeing the operation of seven junior high programs and 12 high school teams. He also has over a decade of experience in the business sector working with area banks.

St. Bonaventure's running programs continue to expand with nearly 80 student-athletes set to compete for the Bonnies in the coming academic year. Macfarlane and assistant coach Sarah Lonzi will continue to focus on the cross country/track programs while Walter's focus will be on Bona's sprinters and hurdlers as the program continues to expand in those events for both indoor and outdoor track.
