Jann Hanks is entering her third year at the helm of Red Devil Field Hockey. In Hanks’ second season in 2023, she led the Red Devils to a Centennial Conference tournament berth, with a CC record of 6-4. In that same season, Hanks saw her team take down #23 ranked team in the nation Bryn Mawr in the CC regular season 1-0, which was the first ranked win under Coach Hanks.
 
Prior to arriving in Carlisle, she spent three seasons as the top assistant to head coach Meredith Spencer-Blaetz at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. During her time with the Ducks, she helped them to post a 26-13 overall record which included two trips to the Middle Atlantic Conference (Freedom) playoffs as well as an NCAA Tournament appearance last year after knocking off the Misericordia University Cougars 2-0 in the conference final at home. In addition to helping out on the pitch with tactical changes and running practices, Hanks also identified top-tier prospective student-athletes that fit under the "complete student-athlete" approach at Stevens. Her recruiting efforts proved most valuable as she coached one National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-American, a trio of NFHCA All-Region selections, and multiple All-Conference athletes. Those Ducks teams showcased excellence in the classroom as well with 40 players selected to the NFHCA National Academic Squad and 11 NFHCA Scholars of Distinction. Hanks also offered support in the administrative side of the athletic department providing assistance to the Senior Woman Administrator and Compliance Officer with implementing new NCAA rules and regulations. 
 
Hanks is not a stranger to the Centennial Conference as she served as the assistant coach with the archrival Franklin & Marshall College from 2016 through the 2018 season. While in Lancaster she helped the Diplomats capture one conference crown and three trips to the NCAA Tournament, in addition to coaching five NFHCA All-Americans and eight NFHCA All-Region honorees.
