Marcus O'Sullivan has filled the assistant coach vacancy that was created when Adrian Blincoe left Villanova in August 2012 to return to his native New Zealand. Mark Carberry, a Villanova track and cross country team member from 2000-2004, has left his position at NCAA Division 1 St. Mary's College in Walnut, California, where since 2010 he has served as associate head coach of cross country and track, to return to his alma mater.

Prior to his arrival at St. Mary's College, Carberry from 2008-2010 was the top cross country and track assistant coach at Division III Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. At Tufts, Carberry was the primary coach for 8 NCAA Division III All Americans and 15 NCAA Division III national qualifiers. He was also co-director of recruiting and development for the middle and long-distance athletes. He will assume similar duties at Villanova in replacing Adrian Blincoe.
Carberry came to Villanova in 2000 from Xavier high school in Middletown, Connecticut and developed into a three-time All Big East performer. In 2003 and 2004 he was part of the Wildcats' all conference 4x800 meter squad, and he earned individual all-conference honors in the 1000 meters in 2004. He was a three-year letterman in cross country.
After graduating with a degree in political science from Villanova in 2004, Carberry has earned two Master's degrees: from Florida State University (2008) in political science, and from Tufts University (2010) in physical education and coaching development. Carberry has earned his USATF Level 1 certification.
