Coach Stefan Campos begins his 11^th year at Western Texas College as the assistant coach for the cross country and track and field teams. Campos is excited to continue to work alongside Coach James Williams and Coach Trinity Williams.

Coach Campos is excited to have two sophomores returning on the women’s cross country team. Cierra Garcia and Leah Cortez were big parts of the women’s success last year. The team was ranked 24^th in the Country the last six weeks of the season. The men have six sophomores returning after their 16^th place finish at the NJCAA Cross Country Nationals Championships.

Last year the men’s and women’s distance squads broke multiple school records:

Men - 8K, 5K, 3K, DMR, 4x800m Relay

Women - 5K, 1 mile,

During his second season assisting the cross country program, the men’s team made their first national appearance since 2012. In track, he helped coach two indoor school record holders and two outdoor school record holders.

Prior to Western Texas College, Campos was a graduate assistant at Tarleton State University under Head Coach Pat Ponder where he worked with the middle distance and long distance runners. During his time at Tarleton, Campos had the opportunity to work with the men’s and women’s cross country teams who placed 2^nd and 1^st at the Lone Star Conference Championships, respectively. 

As a former cross country and track and field athlete at Tarleton State, Campos holds the indoor school record in the 1,000 meter run.   

Campos, a graduate of Jourdanton High School, earned his undergraduate in business administration and master’s degree in Kinesiology from Tarleton.
