Jeff Barker enters his first year as track coach at Kansas Wesleyan University. Barker replaces Zach Kindler who left KWU to take a similar position at Baker University in Baldwin City. Barker comes to Kansas Wesleyan from Calumet College at St. Joseph (Ind.), where he was most recently the head distance track coach and assistant cross country coach. He also held a similar concurrent position at Andrean High School in Merrillville, Indiana. Barker earned degrees in Criminal Justice and Human Service and Social Work from Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind., after excelling at Bishop Noll Institute High School. At Saint Joseph’s, he was named a team captain and recruiting leader in the 2002-2003 season. At Bishop Noll Institute, he was named the 1998-99 Athlete of the Year, while earning several individual honors, including Honorable Mention All-State honors in 1998, and he was the LAC Conference Champion in 1998, setting a course record of 15:50 for the 5K race. He went on to earn LAC Champion honors in the 3200m and was the IHSAA Sectional Champion in the 3200m. Barker is committed to building his programs based on the recent success in both cross country and track at KWU. “One of my favorite quotes is ‘If what we did last year still looks good this year, then are we really doing what it takes to get better?’. We are going to work very hard to develop a program that cross country/track athletes want to be a part of daily. Once the program has purpose, the passion will grow, and the athletes will love being a part of something truly special.” |
