For eight years, Walker-Hall served as Head Coach of the University of Massachusetts Boston men’s and women’s cross-country and track and field programs. During her tenure, she transformed the Beacons into one of the most widely respected track and field programs in the country. As the 2018 USTFCCCA Division III Indoor National Coach of the Year and the 2017 USTFCCCA Division III New England Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Coach the Year, she led the program to back-to-back NCAA Track and Field Championships; prior, the program had not won any championship victories since 1987.
 
Walker-hall student-athletes set over 50 school program records. These athletes have also garnered numerous weekly and seasonal honors from both the Little East Conference and the USTFCCCA. She has coached several Little East Conference major award winners, while 17 student-athletes have qualified and competed at DIII National Championships. 
 
Most recently, the Beacons shocked the track and field world at the 2018 Indoor Championships, with Wadeline Jonathas winning four individual Indoor national titles and Taylor Driggers picking up six points in the Long Jump. At the Outdoor Championships, Walker-Hall put together a tremendous team, that included Oneida Bean, Taylor Driggers, Wadeline Jonathas and Olivia Burnes to claim the program's second NCAA Outdoor crown in program history. A total of 13 All-American honors were bestowed on the Beacons women's track and field team, while the men's 4x100-meter relay team consisting of Garth Miriyoga, Stefan Powell, Dominic Nda and Bless Amedoadzi became the first group of men sprinters to ever earn All-America honors in the program's history.  
 
Coach Walker also coached nine-time All American Hulerie McGuffie to a back-to-back indoor and outdoor 400m national titles in 2015-2016 season. Both Hulerie McGuffie and Wadeline Jonathas sits on the USTFCCA All Time Best Top 10 Indoor and Outdoor list for their respective events. Coach Walker also coached several first for the Men’s program at UMass Boston, most notably Dominic Nda became the first Beacon All American in the men’s 60m Dash. Walker-hall also mentored three-time All American Carl Joseph in the men’s High Jump.
