Track & Field

Sean Murphy joined the Pomfret English faculty in 2024, after previously working at Marianapolis Preparatory School and South Kent School.  Sean has aimed to share his passion for the written word and the natural world with his students since he became a teacher after his graduation from the College of the Holy Cross in 2008.  Outside the classroom, Sean has coached a variety of sports, including rowing, track and field, and Little League baseball.  He has also organized and led several hiking trips with students on trails both near and far.  Sean lives in the nearby farm town of Woodstock with his wife, Michelle, and two kids, Gabriel and Natalie, who keep him busy during his hours off campus.

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Lindsey came to Pomfret from Kenyon College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in History and Art History. During her time at Kenyon, Lindsey participated on the varsity Cross Country and Track teams and acted as an educator for the campus art museum. Here at Pomfret, she continues to follow her passion for running as an assistant coach for both the Cross Country and Track teams. Outside of academics and athletics, Lindsey enjoys reading, hiking, swimming, and visiting art museums. In the summers, she loves to travel to new places (oftentimes to visit new museums!) and to go to the beach.

Originally from Montvale, New Jersey, Sydney came to Pomfret after attending Towson University in the Baltimore area. At Towson she studied History and played Division 1 Track and Field. She has always loved history and playing sports so by joining Pomfret she was given the opportunity to do both. Something she hopes to accomplish specifically at Pomfret is encouraging kids to be their very best self. She has an EXTRA large German Shepherd who sadly won’t be staying on the Hilltop with her but will visit often. While she is quite experienced with track she also played Volleyball and Basketball in high school competitively. With that background she was prompted to coach all three of those sports happily. Some of Sydney’s other interest besides sports, are music, movies, trivia, and cooking.
