CoEd Varsity Cross Country

Coach James Baroni was born and raised in Delaware County and attended St. Gabriel’s Elementary and St. James Catholic High Schools, where his passion for both playing and coaching athletics began.  

During his senior year in 1994, Baroni was selected to serve as an Assistant Coach by then Head Coach Tom Quinn of the St. Gabriel’s CYO Track & Field Team, eventually succeeding Quinn from 1997 to 2020, thus beginning his current tenure at Cardinal O’Hara. 

Since then, Coach Baroni and his Boys & Girls Track teams have won multiple titles, set records, and placed in many tournaments, including back-to-back Catholic League championships in 2021-22. During his tenure, O'Hara has also set the fastest 4x4 relay in Catholic League history, and more than a dozen intra-school records. 

Coach Baroni has been married to his wife Carolynn since 2000, and has two children, Mia and Vincenzo, both graduates of Cardinal O’Hara High School.
