Wayland Baptist cross country/track and field coach
Brian Whitlock has signed his first recruit of the 2015-16 academic year in Xavier Guerra of Lubbock.
Â
Guerra, a senior at Coronado High School, will run both cross country and track for the Pioneers.
Â
"We're excited to have Xavier. He's shown the commitment it takes to be a part of our program," Whitlock said. "I've gotten to know Xavier over the past couple of years and believe he will be a great addition to our program in many respects."
Â
Guerra has been a regional qualifier in cross country for the Mustangs.
Â
"We're glad to have a local kid from Lubbock," Whitlock said.
Â
Wayland's men's cross country team finished ranked 23
rd in the NAIA this past season. The 2014-15 WBU men's track and field teams were national runners-up both indoors and outdoors.
