Elliott Blount is the head coach of cross country and an assistant coach for track and field at St. John's University in Queens, New York. He entered his fourth season leading the cross country program after taking over in 2021 following Jim Hurt's retirement and Aliann Pompey's promotion to director of track and field.
At St. John's, Blount has overseen steady progress in cross country. His teams posted top-40 finishes at the 2021 and 2022 BIG EAST Cross Country Championships, and in 2023 he coached the Johnnies to multiple personal-best performances and the program's first Metropolitan Cross Country Championship.
