Xavier Feliciano begins his second season as the Head Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track & Field Coach at Arcadia University after leading the program through a successful first year in 2025–26.
During his first season, Feliciano guided the Knights to one of the most successful years in program history. Arcadia student-athletes established 19 new school records across cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field, accounting for 65 total record-breaking performances throughout the season. The Knights also produced numerous All-MAC performers, MAC Championship scorers, AARTFC qualifiers, and continued to elevate the program's competitiveness across all event groups.
Off the track, Feliciano has prioritized building a culture centered on accountability, academic success, and student-athlete development. During his first recruiting cycle, he assembled one of the largest incoming classes in recent program history, positioning the Knights for continued success.
Prior to Arcadia, Feliciano served as an Assistant Track & Field Coach at Widener University, helping guide the Pride to two consecutive MAC Women's Indoor Championships and back-to-back MAC Women's Outdoor Championships. His coaching experience also includes stops at Lincoln University and Kutztown Area High School, where he worked with sprinters, jumpers, and pole vaulters while assisting with recruiting and program operations.
A 2021 graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in Criminal Justice, Feliciano was a three-year member of the Bears' track & field program. He earned NCAA Division II Indoor All-America honors in the pole vault in 2020, was a two-time USTFCCCA All-Atlantic Region selection, captured the 2020 PSAC Pole Vault Championship, and was named Kutztown University's 2021 Male Senior Athlete of the Year.
