As you know, coaching track and field is my passion. As the new head coach of Men’s & Women’s track and field at Huston-Tillotson University, I have the honor of teaching dedicated and gifted students who come from all walks of life. Established in 1875, Huston-Tillotson University is the oldest institution of higher learning in Central Texas – yes, it’s older than the University of Texas! There are over 1100 students enrolled at HT. Many students (71%) come from low-income households and 37% are first-generation college students. Student-athletes have opportunities to compete in intercollegiate athletics in an atmosphere that emphasizes both academic and athletic excellence. As a private, historically black university, HT has traditionally supported itself through tuition and fundraising.

I believe HT’s athletic achievements have no boundaries. Olympians and professional athletes at one time called Huston-Tillotson home. However, the budget required to offer a track and field program that matches the athletes’ talents and potential is not currently available. I am seeking funds to take this program to the next level. So yes I need your help! Please click the donation link below and see Track and Field Campaign and help us reach our goal of $50,000 a year!
