Zaynab Khan Appointed Director of Squash and Tennis
Starting July 1, 2026, Zaynab Khan will be Director of Squash and Tennis, the assistant coach of Girls’ Varsity Squash, and a math teacher at Westminster School. Zaynab will play a pivotal role in elevating both the squash and tennis programs through recruiting and program management.
Director of Athletics Tim Joncas said, “Zaynab brings an enormous amount of knowledge and experience to our program, but even more importantly, she is an incredible human being whose values as a coach and leader align seamlessly with our mission and community. She is a fierce competitor, a thoughtful mentor, and the kind of leader who will inspire our student-athletes to pursue excellence with humility, resilience, and character.”
Zaynab was a member of Trinity College’s two-time national championship team (2024, 2025) and NESCAC championship teams from 2023 to 2026. She was named a College Squash Association Scholar Athlete in 2025 and 2026 and achieved a career-high women’s squash world ranking of #108 in March 2021. She is a 13-time Pakistani National champion across junior and senior categories. Zaynab will graduate from Trinity College this spring with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics with a minor in applied mathematics.
“Stepping into this dual role in academics and athletics is a dream come true,” said Zaynab. “Having spent my life competing at the highest levels, I am thrilled to share those experiences with Westminster students. I’m especially excited to push our athletes to grow not just as players, but as scholars and leaders.” In this position, Zaynab will be a valuable resource for Westminster coaches, work closely with staff, and help ensure that student-athletes receive the high-level instruction and support necessary to continue their athletic and personal development.
