Texas State announced the hiring of former UCLA coach John Frazier as the Bobcats’ new track & field/cross country director on Monday.
“I am extremely excited and elated as this is a great opportunity for me and my family to become Bobcats at Texas State University,” Frazier said in a statement. “Being passionate about track and field, this solidifies the next step in my career as Director of Track and Field. The possibilities are absolutely endless, and I am thankful to be working with a team that embodies commitment and dedication to the student-athletes. I can feel the passion, and I am ready to get started. My goal is to build on the existing dynamic base that’s in place and to develop a strong competitive track and field program. With pleasure and honor, I thank the people that have and still are supporting me on my journey. Let’s go, Bobcats!”
Frazier has over 30 years of experience, including coaching stops at Florida, Arizona and Tennessee. The UCLA alumnus most recently spent eight years at his alma mater as the Bruins’ throws coach and four years as their men’s head coach.
