Miles Smith, assistant coach from Purdue, will be the next head coach of the ACU track and field program. Zack Lassiter, vice president for athletics at ACU, made the announcement on Tuesday after a national search.

"When I heard ACU was looking for a head coach, I was so excited and intrigued at the opportunity to become the head coach because of the program's storied tradition," Smith said. "I went to Southeast Missouri State in my collegiate days, and all of our stadium records were owned by Abilene Christian. The two schools would battle it out for national championships in the Division II days, so I have always had an admiration for ACU."

Smith will be the 22nd head coach of ACU's storied track and field program and is looking to build a culture inspired by his collegiate head coach, Joey Haines, who was friends with Wes Kittley, ACU's former head coach who is now at Texas Tech.

I know this ACU, but I thought I could post this here.

Looks like T&F is adding some fine coaches for the WAC. Glad to see it.
