Head Coach Matt Aguero

Matt Aguero was named Cameron University's first men's cross country coach in 2005, building from the ground up an Aggie squad that began competition as an NCAA Division II member of the Lone Star Conference the same year.

A native of Poteau, Okla., Aguero is no stranger to Lone Star Conference competition. He was a member of the men's cross country and track teams at East Central University from 1999-2003, earning All-Region and LSC All-Academic honors with the Tigers. He holds the ECU marathon record and was a three-time qualifier for the National Track and Field Championships. Aguero also spent one semester at Minot (N.D.) State University, where he also established a school marathon record and earned NAIA All-American honors by finishing third in the marathon at the 2004 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Following his successful collegiate career, Aguero entered the coaching ranks as the assistant cross country and track coach at Virginia Intermont College, where he helped create and organize practice workouts, served as study hall coordinator for the squad and assisted in the administrative duties associated with the program. His efforts helped push VIC to the 2004 NAIA men's cross country national title in just its second year of existence, as well as runner-up team finishes at both the NAIA Indoor and Outdoor Track National Championships this spring.

In addition to his collegiate experience, Aguero also has served as an instructor and coach in the Poteau school district and as youth group leader at the Poteau First Assembly of God church. Other community involvement efforts include serving as a volunteer for the Special Olympics, a charity 5K race volunteer and an adapted swimming program volunteer.
