David DiCicco is entering his eighth year as the head coach for co-ed varsity track and field at Marianapolis. Before and after practice, DiCicco serves as the Head of School, history teacher, advisor to an awesome group of freshmen, and along with Mrs. DiCicco, parent to Ella and Drew. DiCicco began his running career at the Governor’s Academy (Byfield, Mass.) where he ran both cross country and track. He has remained an avid runner since then. DiCicco served as head coach for Cheshire Academy’s co-ed track and field team from 2006-2011 (DIII NEPSTA Champions 2007-girls & 2009-boys) and also coached girls' and boys' cross country. DiCicco is a former President of the New England Preparatory School Track and Field Association (NEPSTA). As a coach, he focuses on the growth of the individual athlete and emphasizes the importance of short- and long-term goal setting while cultivating a love for the sport and a sense of team that lasts long after the season has ended. DiCicco is proud of Marianapolis’ team success-including 2016’s & 2017’s SENE champions and '18, '19, '22, and '23 girls DIII NEPSTA New England champions-not for the plaques or individual medals earned but for each athlete's individual commitment to being better each time they take a jump, throw, or race. This commitment to, and celebration of, improvement is a guiding principle of the program. First time athletes and college bound competitors share the spotlight and each other’s support in a program that continues to focus on a PR Mindset and making our own luck. 

Wes joined the Marianapolis community in 2016 and currently serves as the Director of Sustainability, COE Coordinator of Capstone Programs, a teacher in the Business department, a sophomore advisor, and a coach for the Women's Basketball and Track&Field teams.

He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2012 with a degree in Business Administration. While at school, he performed with the Marching Band and the Glee Club, in addition to participating in a variety of intramural athletics. He found his passion for education through coaching and brings over seventeen years of experience in athletic instruction to his work as a Knight.
