Jeannie T. King, Director of Athletics, has overseen the growth and development of the athletics department since 1998. Under King’s leadership, the program has seen tremendous expansion and success. The Royals have added multiple sports including, women’s golf, men’s and women’s cross country-track and men’s and women’s lacrosse in recent years. Under King’s directive, the department of Athletics has won a multitude of Carolina Virginia Athletic Conference Championships (CVAC) and appeared in numerous NCAA tournaments, including two Elite Eight appearances by men’s basketball in three years. As a department, Queens Athletics has won the Joby Hawn Cup (Conference All-Sports Honor) twice and the Alan Sharpe Award (Conference institution with the highest graduation rate) three times.
As a leader, King is chosen for her ability to mobilize people, her broad understanding, and her ability to strengthen relationships. King currently serves on the CVAC CAP (Committee on Assessment & Planning) committee, the chair of CVAC Awards committee, and has served on the NCAA committee for women’s basketball.
Prior to leading Queens Athletics, King was the Royals women’s basketball coach from 1993 to 2003. For five years she held dual roles, before assuming the athletic directors role full time.
Preceding her career at Queens, King served as the head women’s basketball coach at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC from 1990-93.
King has a MS in Sports Management from Georgia Southern where she was also a graduate assistant basketball coach for the Eagles. As an undergraduate, King was a starting forward on the women’s basketball team at Texas Christian University where she received a Bachelors of Science Social Work degree and began her career in coaching after completing her playing career.
She and her husband, Henry, a Sergeant of the Highway Patrol and SFC, for the US Military reside in Concord.
