NEW ORLEANS – Texas Tech track and field assistant throws coach Cliff Felkins was named the USTFCCCA Mountain Region Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year, the organization announced Friday afternoon.
Felkins’ crew at Big 12 Championships accounted for 31 points as Shelby Frank won the hammer and discus competition. Under his tutelage, Frank went on to set new personal bests in the hammer and discus at the NCAA Championships last weekend as she placed second in the hammer and third in the discus. Overall, Frank scored 14 of Tech’s 22 points. In addition, Zoe Burleson finished 13th in the discus last weekend.
This outdoor season, Felkins coached the No. 1 discus squad in the country with four Red Raiders combining for an average mark of 58.40m (191-7).
The regional honor is the fourth of Felkins’ career and first since 2016.
