TONY HOUCHIN

Assistant Coach • Distance 1st season at Lamar Oklahoma State, 1995

Head coach Trey Clark added 16-year coaching veteran Tony Houchin as Lamar University track and field assistant coach in charge of distance and cross country, announced the program Sept. 7, 2015, and his presence was felt almost immediately leading the men’s cross country team to its ninth Southland Conference Championship in a decade. He walked in and helped develop league champion and SLC Freshman and Athlete of the Year Iliass Aounai along with classmate Gabriel Steffensen, both were crucial pieces to the title. Houchin, who was most recently head cross country coach and track and field assistant at UAB, comes to Lamar with 11 All-Americans and 58 league champions coached between track and cross country during his career, and claims more than 150 all-league members. He arrived at UAB in 2011, and worked with UAB’s first All-American since 2007, and seven of eight distance All-Americans the Blazers ever had. He was over a program that broke 26 school records by nine different athletes, and had over 100 marks in the UAB all-time top-10 performance lists. He worked with NCAA South Region Track and Field athlete of the Year Elinor Kirk, who also took the top spot in the 5000-meter run in the Welsh Indoor record book and eighth in the NCAA for the 10,000-meter run. While at UAB, he coached 12 Conference-USA cross country and track and field champions and 46 All-C-USA athletes. Thirteen times he had a runner advance to the East Preliminary Championships. Proving that academics is also a staple in his work, his cross country team earned the department’s highest grade point average at a 3.578 in 2012, and four athletes were named to the Capital One Academic All-District team. Prior to UAB, he was the cross coach at Nevada-Las Vegas from 2006 to 2010, where he raised the team GPA from a 2.87 to 3.36 and was named as a USTFCCCA All-Academic Team in 2008, 2009 and 2010. He led his team to the best Mountain West Conference finish the program had seen since 2000 as well as the first All-MWC cross country athletes since then. He coached UNLV’s first mid-distance MWC champion in Charlotte Browning (1500m) as well as the 2007 league track and field freshman of the year. Under his tutelage, 41 marks were added to the UNLV top-10 all-time performers list. Houchin also served as the cross country coach at Southland Conference rival McNeese State from 2005-2006, where he improved the men’s league standing from

seventh to third in just one XC COACHING EXPERIENCE season. With the Cowboys, Year School Position he coached two track and 2015 Lamar XC/Asst. T&F field league champions and a 2014 UAB XC/Asst.

He was a volunteer assistant at Texas A&M where he assisted in coaching distance and mid-distance athletes, including three regional and national track and field qualifiers as well as one Big-12 track and field champion during his one season. His coaching career started as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Oklahoma State. He worked there for three seasons and saw three NCAA team national championship qualifiers, three regional team qualifiers, and three NCAA All-Americans. The 2001 team was a first place regional team and the 2002 team finished second. He ran cross country at the collegiate level at OSU, and had top 15 team finishes every season he ran, including a third place finish in 1995.

ALESHA WALKER

Assistant Coach • Jumps 3rd season at Lamar New Mexico , 2011

After putting together a stellar career at the University of New Mexico, Alesha Walker was named to Lamar’s staff on November 11, 2013. She has been charged with coaching and revitalizing the jumps program at LU, and so far she has lived up to her task. Brian O’Bonna, who was the Canadian National Champion in the long jump and Canadian runner-up in the triple jump, placed in the top-10 at the Southland Conference Championships in the former fourth in the latter. At the 2015 outdoor championships, she helped the Cardinals to a fifth, sixth and eight place finishes in the long jump with Nicole Alozie, Erin Brown and Carissa Hill placing in that order. The eight point from that event was the most of any school except McNeese State (16). She also worked with Deja Phillips to a fifth place finish in the high jump and Hill to a 10th-place ranking. Walker, who spent the last two-plus seasons as a graduate assistant for the Lobos, was one of the school’s most-decorated athletes. The Killeen, Texas, native holds both the indoor and outdoor school records in the long jump and qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials. “For the athletes that are here, I think having a former athlete that has been through what they have will be a big help,” explained LU head coach Trey Clark. “She’s brought in a wealth of experience, especially when you consider the kind of jumps program that New Mexico has. Any time that you can bring in someone that has that level of national exposure, it’s going to be huge for the athletes and their development.” While on staff at UNM, Walker had a number of everyday duties in the office, but worked primarily with the jumps program, which produced four All-America honorees in 2012 and three more in 2013. Walker graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2011, and she’s currently pursuing her master’s in kinesiology.

#PECKEM THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE 2016 LAMAR UNIVERSITY LAMAR TRACK AND FIELD

Now in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member insti- tutions. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities inthree states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15,1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns

automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful threeyear run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.
