LAMAR TRACK & FIELD

With 14 years at the helm of the Lamar men’s and women’s track teams, Trey Clark has become the face of one of the region’s most-storied programs.

Clark, a former sprinter and hurdler for the Cardinals, initially stepped foot on campus in 1988, and after serving as an assistant coach from 1994-99, he was named the school’s sixth head coach on August 11, 1999. In that time, he’s coached 71 Southland Confer-ence individual champions, seven All-Americans and seven Southland Athletes of the Year.

Arguably his most impressive accomplishment has been the re-establishment of Lamar as the dominant distance program in the Southland Conference. The Cardinal men carried home six consecutive confer-ence cross country titles before a runner-up finish in 2012, and the women haven’t been strangers in the winner’s circle either, winning three times.

Individually, five distance performers have been named to an All-American team. Francis Kasagule became the first Cardinal to earn the distinction in cross country since 1969 with a 29th place finish at the national meet in 2006, and he built on it the following year with a 24th place showing. Samuel Kosgei followed in his footsteps in 2008 with a 37th place finish, and added to it further by be-coming the first-ever LU indoor track All-American in 2009.

Clark has coach two outdoor track All-Americans with both Joonas Harjamaki and Tom Wade taking home the honors in the 3,000 meter steeplechase.Most recently, Matt Johnsen placed 33rd at the 2012 Cross Country Championships to join the exclusive club.

However, Clark’s first appearance on the national scene came through his old event, hurdles. As both an assistant and head coach, the native of nearby Anahuac mentored conference champions Yamelis Ortiz and Mark LeDoux. Ortiz, a four-time confer-ence champion in the 400 meter hurdles, became the first Lamar Olympian since 1984 by earning a

spot on Puerto Rico’s 4x400 relay team at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

LeDoux was similarly successful, taking home three 400 meter hurdle conference titles and a 12th place finish at the NCAA Championships. Clark was equally important away from Lamar, coaching LeDoux to two appearances at the USA Track and Field Nationals.

A former all-conference performer and four-year let-terwinner, Clark graduated from Lamar in 1993 with a degree in kinesiology. After serving as a part-time assistant in 1994, former coach Barry Collins elevated Clark to a full-time position in 1995.

Clark also earned a master’s degree in kinesiology from Lamar in 1995.

Clark is married to the former Laura Hughes, and the couple has two sons, Quade and Hayden.

ASSISTANT COACH

Jake Cohen

Jake Cohen joined the Lamar University track and field staff in November 2010 as an as-sistant coach focusing on the jumps, multis, hurdles and short sprints.

In his two-plus seasons with the Cardinals his athletes have compiled two conference championips, seven all-con-

ference performances, and 25 all-time top-five marks including 13 school records.

Earlier this year, both Beatrice Douglas and Erin Brown posted top three performances in the high jump at the Southland Conference Indoor Championships, and Leslie Beard broke her own school record in the pole vault.

In the most recent outdoor season, Cohen guided Ashley Idunoba and Douglas to All-SLC honors. Idunoba de-fended her conference championship from the previous year by running a 23.44 which ranked her not only in the NCAA but also in the world at the time. Douglas earned the accolades by jumping 19 feet, nine inches, placing second in the competition.

Indoors, Idunoba also earned an all-conference honors placing second in the 200 with a school-record time of 24.12. Other members of the team who broke school records under Cohen’s tutelage during the indoor sea-son included Beard in the pole vault, Jamal Nash in the hurdles, and Douglas in the pentathlon.

Prior to Lamar, Cohen assisted Calvin Robinson with the jumps and multis at the University of Miami, working specifically with the pole vaulters. That year the Hur-ricane jumpers had three athletes at the NCAA Indoor Championships, two at the outdoor NCAA final round with one garnering All-American honors. The jumps group also had four ACC all-conference performers that year.

Cohen competed in the pole vault for University of Mi-ami for one year and in multiple events while attending the University of Delaware. The Englewood, N.J., native holds a bachelor’s degree in human services, education and public policy from the University of Delaware and a master’s degree in sports administration from Miami.

First SeasonAlma Mater: Napier, 2006Hometown: Edinburgh, Scotland

In less than a year on campus, distance and cross country coach Darren Gauson has cer-tainly made his presence felt at Lamar.

Joining the program at the start of the 2012 cross country sea-son, the Edinburgh, Scotland, native guided Matt Johnsen to the NCAA Championships, plac-

ing 33rd and becoming just the fourth Lamar harrier to earn All-American honors since 1969.

As the year turned to indoor season, two more of his athletes made some noise as both Joe Wade and Becky Gough took home Southland Conference indoor titles. Wade earned the mile championship, his third win of the season in the event, with a time of 4:08.80, marking the fastest time at the SLC meet since 1998. Gough won the 3,000 meter run, completing the race in 10:10.05.

Prior to Lamar, Gauson spent four seasons with Butler University, helping develop and maintain one of the most successful programs in the Horizon League. While at BU,

the Bulldog men continued a streak of 14 consecutive conference championships in cross country, including a 29th place finish at the NCAA National Championships in 2008.

He was also pivotal in the individual development of a number of athletes, including four All-Americans (An-drew Baker, Callum Hawkins, Steve Lisgo and Rob Mul-let).

Gauson also worked with sprinters and hurdlers, helping the group break four school records in three years.

Prior to joining the Bulldog staff, Gauson was a standout athlete for BU for two seasons, earning a Horizon League Championship in the 1,500 meter run in 2008. He’s also a former Scottish national champion in the event, winning in both 2004 and 2005.

A 2006 graduate of Napier University in Scotland, Gauson holds a bachelor’s degree in sport and exercise science. He completed his master’s in education at Butler in 2008.

Gauson is married to the former Marbeth Shiell, and they reside in Beaumont.
