Nick Wilson hired as LWC Head Cross Country Coach New coach is a graduate of Rio Grande University Click on headline for complete story By Charles Balcom COLUMBIA, KY - Lindsey Wilson Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Jamaine Gordon announced on Wednesday that Nick Wilson has been hired as the head cross country coach and assistant track & field coach for the Blue Raiders. Wilson takes over the helm of the men's and women's cross country programs, while Gordon will oversee all operations of the Blue Raider cross country and track & field programs, including continuing to serve as the head track & field coach. "Nick is bringing a wealth of knowledge from being a runner and having coaching experience at the collegiate level," Gordon said. "He will make an immediate impact on both the cross country and track & field programs." Wilson comes to Lindsey Wilson after spending the previous season as an assistant cross country and track & field coach at Valley City State University. While with Valley City State, Wilson coached three, first-time cross country national qualifiers along with 30 all-conference track & field selections, including five national qualifiers and one national champion. Prior to his time at Valley City State, Wilson spent three seasons as an assistant cross country and track & field coach at the University of Rio Grande (Ohio). While at Rio Grande, Wilson helped coach the RedStorm men's and women's outdoor track & field programs to the 2015 Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) Championships. During the 2014 season, he helped guide the men's cross country team to the KIAC Championship and an appearance at the NAIA National Championships. He coached five individual cross country national qualifiers while with the RedStorm. Before joining the coaching ranks, Wilson had a successful four-year stint as a student-athlete at Rio Grande where he was a four-time cross country national qualifier and two-time track & field national qualifier. He finished as the runner-up twice at the Mid-South Conference Cross Country Championships and holds track school records in the 3,000 meters and 4x800 relay. Wilson graduated from Rio Grande in 2013 and later completed his master's degree in 2015.
