WEEK 4: INLAND EMPIRE CLASSIC
HEAD COACH
Ben Welch
22nd Season
Kansas, 1988
Welch enters his 22nd year at the helm of the men’s and
women’s cross country teams and 2012-13 will mark his
11th year as head coach of track & field team.
In that time, he has guided the men’s team to the NAIA
National Cross Country Championships 16 out of the last 20
years, where they have finished in the top-20, 14 times and
the top-10, eight times, including a second place finish in
2002. In 2004 they placed seventh out of the 28 team field.
In 1993 and 2000 the men placed sixth, in 1994 they fin-
ished eighth and 10th in 2001 & 2003.
En route to the national meet, the men have won two NAIA
District II Championships and 12 of the last 17 Cascade
Conference titles, including the 2007 title. Along the way,
the Men’s Cross teams have earned their coach two NAIA
District II, 12 Cascade Conference, and four NAIA Re-
gional Coach of the Year honors.
On the women’s side, Welch has guided the team near the
top of the NAIA cross-country ranks. In 1995, EOU’S
women’s team earned their first national ranking in school
history and in 1996 qualified for their first trip to the NAIA
National Championships. The 1997, 1998 and 1999 teams
all advanced to the national meet where they finished 6th,
9th, and 3rd, respectively. Along the way, the team won five
consecutive Cascade Conference titles from 1995-1999. The
women’s teams have earned Welch eight conference Coach
of the Year awards, one women’s conference All-Sport
award, and one NAIA National Coach of the Year honor.
In 2004, the women finished 16th at the NAIA National
Championships after a second-place finish in the conference
that earned Welch his sixth CCC Coach of the Year award.
They then followed up with a Conference title, Conference
Coach of the Year award, and 22nd place National finish in
‘05.
While coaching the women in 07 they also won the confer-
ence title, earning Welch another CCC Coach of the Year
award and the Mountaineers went on to place 22nd at Na-
tionals.
Prior to coming to EOU, Welch spent three years as the
men’s cross country and track coach at Highline Commu-
nity College in Des Moines, Washington and two years at
the University of Kansas in Lawrence as a student assistant
cross country and track coach. Welch and his wife Talia
have three children: Amanda, Nick, and Bennett.
