Britt Walker McNeil returns for her second stint on Jane Wells' staff in 2023. She will coach the Blue Jay goalkeepers and assist in all the day-to-day operations of the program. She previously coached at Hopkins from 2017 to 2019.

The Blue Jay field hockey program has had a remarkable run since 2017. Hopkins had three losing records in the four seasons prior to Walker McNeil's first stint at Homewood. During her five season, JHU has gone 92-17 and won four Centennial Conference Tournament titles. The Blue Jays have also made three trips to the NCAA Semifinals and another to the NCAA Quarterfinals. 

Walker spent the 2016 season as an assistant coach with the Dickinson Red Devils, which went 12-7, including 6-4 in the Centennial Conference. Dickinson produced three All-Centennial Conference selections, two NFHCA All-Region honorees and one NFHCA All-America last season. Walker began her coaching career at York, which produced four All-Capital Athletic Conference honorees and the program's first All-American in 2015.

A 2015 graduate of Ohio University, Walker was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starter for the Bobcats. She helped Ohio to the 2011 Mid-American Conference (MAC) championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. As a sophomore, she led the MAC in goals against average (1.95) and shutouts (3) and ranked second in save percentage (.723). Walker played in 55 games and over 3,700 minutes in her career. She notched 222 saves with seven shutouts and 21 victories. She served as a Bobcat captain as a senior and was a two-time MAC All-Tournament Team selection.
