Jordan Hill joined the Emory University Track and Field coaching staff as an assistant coach in September of 2016. Her primary responsibilities focuses on sprints, hurdles and horizontal jumps.

During the 2017-18 season, Hill was recognized by the USTFCCCA, earning the South/Southeast Region Coach of the Year award after helping the Eagles women's team to new heights as Emory finished eighth at the indoor NCAA Championships and fifth at the outdoor NCAA Championships, both representing the highest ever finishes for an Emory women's team. She saw her athletes register All-America performances in six events, most notably Dani Bland recording a national runner-up finish in the outdoor 100m Dash and the 4x400m Relay placing second at both the indoor and outdoor national meets, setting school records in both events. In addition, Hill oversaw Bland who was named the UAA Most Outstanding Performer during both the indoor and outdoor season.

Hill made an immediate impact during her first year with the Eagles in 2017, overseeing a pair of All-American relay teams (4x400m indoors, 4x100m outdoors), individual All-America honors by sophomore Dani Bland in the outdoor 100m Dash and junior Charlie Hu being named the University Athletic Association's Most Outstanding Field Performer at the Indoor Championships.

She joined the Eagles’ program after spending the past two years at Allegheny College.  After spending her initial campaign as assistant cross country/track and field coach, she was appointed Interim Head Coach of both programs for the 2015-16 school year. Hill enjoyed considerable success, guiding the men’s and women’s cross country teams to 2015 North Coast Athletic Conference titles and berths to the NCAA D-III Championships, where two of her athletes raced to All-America honors.  She was named the league’s Men’s and Women’s Coach of the Year in cross country.  In track, she mentored athletes to 12 school records and had 10 receive Great Lakes Region Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field honors.

Prior to her stint at Allegheny, Hill spent a season at her alma mater, Baldwin Wallace, as assistant track coach.  In that time frame, she oversaw the training and development of sprints, hurdles and relays, including that of Kevin Johnson, the 2014 DIII national champion in the men’s 100 and 200 meters. She was recognized for her efforts, being named by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association as the 2014 Men’s Outdoor National Assistant Coach of the Year.

She began her coaching career at Bluffton University as a graduate assistant coach for the men's and women's cross country and track teams from 2009-12.  She was responsible for the training and development of the sprinters and hurdlers, conditioning of the entire program and assisting the head coach with all aspects of recruiting and meet management.  In addition, she earned a Master's of Business Administration degree while at Bluffton.

A native of Carrollton, Ohio, Hill was a standout track performer at Baldwin Wallace, where she competed in the 55m, 300m, 4x200 and 4x400 indoors and the 100m, 200m, 4x100 and 4x400 outdoors.   She earned multiple All-Ohio Athletic Conference and All-Ohio honors in both indoor and outdoor track, and helped her team to three OAC titles. As a senior, she captured the Paul “Sparky” Adams Most Outstanding Female Athlete award and the Baldwin Wallace Most Outstanding Sprinter award. She graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in communications with minors in public relations and marketing.
