Sam Houston State track and field team has announced the hiring of assistant coach Keith Herston, who will be in charge of the multi-events and jumps.
Herston was a volunteer assistant coach at Auburn where he worked with the men's and women's javelin throwers and the multi-events. He also assisted with daily operations, including NCAA compliance, team travel and budget.
"Keith is a hard worker and he came highly recommended from the Auburn program," said head coach Dave Self. "He has had a lot of exposure to national level and Olympic caliber athletes that he worked with at Auburn. He brings a lot of enthusiasm to the program and I think he will be a great fit."
Herston is a 2007 graduate of Alabama where he got his Bachelors degree in Human Environmental Sciences and was a member of the track and field team, competing in horizontal jumps. He was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll. He received his Masters degree from Auburn.
