When fans think of Lamar track and field, the first person that has to come to mind is 16-year head coach Trey Clark, who restored one of the region’s most-storied programs back to a proud tradition since he took the helm on August 11, 1999. The numbers tell the story. He has 12 team titles as the head coach of both the cross country and track ad field programs, 86 individual Southland Conference champions, 15 league Athletes of the Year and seven All-Americans. The Lamar graduate claims eight Southland Conference Newcomers of the Year, 13 Freshmen of the Year, six Outstanding Track Performers and seven high point scorers. He has coached 34 current Lamar record holders and 113 athletes who currently rank in the top five in the school’s record books.

Clark, a former sprinter and hurdler for LU, first stepped on campus in 1988 and was named as an assistant coach under head coach Barry Collins. He is the Cardinals’ sixth head coach in program that started in 1953. Quite possibly one of his best accomplishments could be the restoration of Lamar’s distance pro-gram, which swept the Southland Conference Cham-pionships in both 2013 and 2014. The 2014 champi-onship was the men’s’ eight overall and the women’s’ fifth. In 2015, the men upped their dynastic ninth title in 10 years behind freshman Iliass Aouani. Four of the last five athletes of the year have come from Lamar, Matt Johnsen (2013, men’s), Sam Stabler (2014, men’s), Minttu Hukka (2014, women’s) and Aouani (2015, men’s). LU gained its first distance all-American since 1969 when Francis Kasagule achieved in back-to-back seasons in 2006-07. Since Samuel Kosgei (2008) and Johnsen (2012) have both done it. As a team, the men were one spot away from earning an auto-matic bid to the NCAA Championships in 2014 and the women two spots away. He was named as the Southland Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2011. On Clark’s watch, Lamar earned its first ever indoor all-American when Kosgei finished eight at the

NCAA Championships in 2009 in the 5,000-meter run. He has also coached two outdoor all-Americans in Joonas Harjamaki and Tom Wade. Both won it in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. During his tenure, Lamar has 42 individual indoor champions, including a run of four years (2006-09) when LU had the men’s mile run champion. It also had the men’s 3,000-meter champion for four-straight years (2009-12). On the women’s side, he boasts a four year run of the distance medley relay (2005-08) and the 4x400 meter re-lay champions in 2000. The Lady Cardinals also have five one mile run and 3,000 meter champions. Big Red has 30 outdoor individual league champions during his years, including the men’s 4x400 meter relay champions in 2003. From 2010-13, Lamar won three titles on the men’s 1,500 meter run and the women did it from 2006-07. Even before his time as a head coach, he was an im-

portant piece of the puzzle as the assistant coach. In his five years as an assistant, he worked with 33 league champions and 14 all-conference performers and worked with the two strongest parts of the program, relays and hurdles. He led the 4x100 meter relay team to the 1999 Southland Conference championships, and guided Mark LeDoux to two straight conference titles in the 400-meter hurdles and ninth place finish at the NCAA Champi-onships. LeDoux had two appearances at the USA Track and Field Nationals as well. Clark also helped Yamelis Ortiz, who joined the Lamar Hall of Honor in 2014, to the Olympics on Puerto Rico’s 4x400-meter relay team in 2000. Ortiz was a four-time conference champion in the 400-meter hurdles. The four-year letterman was an all-conference performer and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in ki-nesiology in 1993 and a master’s in the same in 1995. He served as a part-time assistant in 1994. The Anahuac, Texas (Anahuac HS) native, is married to the former Laura Hughes and has two sons, Quade and Hayden.

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, an-nounced the program Sept. 7, 2015, and his presence was felt almost immediately lead-ing 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 piec-es 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-Ac-ademic Team in 2008, 2009 and 2010. He led his team to the best Mountain West Con-ference 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 tute-lage, 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 season. With the Cowboys, he coached two track and field league champions and a handful of All-Southland Con-ference champions. Before his stop at Mc-Neese, he coached the Butler men to a fourth place finish at the 2004 National Cross Coun-try Championships, the wom-en finished 31st that season. There, he worked with NCAA cross country All-American Olly Laws in 2004 and nation-al champion Victoria Mitchell in 2005 (steeplechase). He instructed 26 All-Horizon cross country ath-letes and 68 all-league track and field athletes. Houchin also coached four league cross country champions and 30 track and field teams in his two seasons with the Bulldogs. 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 qualifi-ers 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 champion-ship 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.

After putting together a stellar career at the University of New Mexico, Ale-sha 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 Phil-lips 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.

THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE 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- tu-tions. Having commemorated its 50th anni-versary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member uni-versities inthree states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dal-las on March 15,1963, the Southland Con-ference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Confer-ence welcomed fouradditional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist Uni-versity, 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 Uni-versity 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 Divi-sion I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women com-pete 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 through-

out Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklaho-ma 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 head-quarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Head Coach Trey Clark with the portrait of the lives lost in a plane crash that claimed head coach Ty Terrell (very left), Don Delaune (right), Randy Clewis, Mike Favazza, and Waverly Thomas (left). Clark hoists the portrait in his office as a reminder of the success-es of Coach Terrell and his team despite lesser advantage of other universities. The plane went down on April 28, 1968 on the way home from the Drake Relays.

Henderson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology with a specialization in sports management from Texas A&M in May of 2003 and a Master of Business Administration from Texas A&M-Kingsville in December of 2005. Henderson also spends time in the community with various charitable organizations including the YMBL and the Beaumont A&M Club.
