Boglarka Davies joined the Army West Point staff as assistant cross country and track & field coach in 2015.

In 2017, she helped guide the Army men’s cross country team to their eighth Patriot League championship.

Prior to joining the Black Knights, Davies spent two seasons at Kansas State. A former Wildcat All-American runner, she served as an assistant with her alma mater after spending a year as the volunteer assistant cross country coach.

The 2013 Kansas State alum was coached by Mike Smith during his tenure with the Wildcats. Under Smith’s tutelage, Davies was a two-time All-American, a Big 12 Champion, and holds K-State school records on two relays and the indoor 800m (2:05.16).

“I recruited and coached Boglarka at Kansas State University where she was a multiple time All-American and a Big 12 champion on the track,” added Smith. “She knows what it takes to reach the highest levels of our sport and will do a great job of mentoring our young men and women as they pursue excellence here at Army West Point. After she finished her eligibility at K-State, she was a volunteer assistant for me for two years and was then hired by the track and field program as a staff assistant. She was a behind the scenes worker at K-State but will thrive here in a more involved role with both our men's and women's programs. We are lucky to have her here at Army West Point.”

During her time at K-State, Davies also earned numerous awards off the track. She was a two-time cross country Academic All-Big 12 First Team member in 2010 and 2011. Davies earned academic accolades for track as well, recognized by both the Big 12 (2011-First Team, 2010-Second Team) and the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) (2011-First Team).

Davies, a native of Veszprem, Hungary, was an 800m semifinalist at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing. She completed her secondary school studies at Vetesi Albert Gymnasium where she won six Hungarian junior championships in the 800m and 1500m. She also went on to win two Hungarian senior championships in the 800m.
