Coach DaRocha joined the Emmanuel staff in 2001 as the Head Coach for the Men's and Women's Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field programs. Prior to joining the staff at Emmanuel, Coach DaRocha was an exceptional high school coach at the local, regional and national levels and is working to continue his success at the college level -- especially with a College that has winning programs. Among Tony's many accomplishments is his development of the only two-time male Foot Locker National Cross-Country Champion.
Coach DaRocha had a tremendous experience at Boston Latin High School during his eight years there. During his coaching reign at Boston English in men's and women's cross country and Boston Latin men's and women's indoor and outdoor track & field, he developed four All-Americans, nine All-New Englands, 15 All-State, 24 Class, and 74 League Individual Champions. He has taken his cross country team to four State Class Championships and one All-State Championship, where they were crowned Champions.
In track, Coach DaRocha has developed two National Champions in the 800-meter run. He expanded the program from its grassroots incarnation of one person to 85 participants during his coaching tenure in the Boston Public School system. Tony works full-time as a physical education teacher and instructor. Coach DaRocha has been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference's Cross Country Coach of the Year three different times during his coaching career with the Saints (2007, 2008, 2011).
