Cami Wells has been named the head women's cross country coach at Bowling Green State University, BGSU Director of Athletics Paul Krebs has announced. Wells, who has already started her new job at BG, coached the Falcon women in Saturday's (Sept. 18) Mel Brodt Invitational. Wells also will serve as an assistant track and field coach for the Falcons.
Wells replaces Steve Price, who resigned in June to become the director of athletics at Sidney (Ohio) Lehman High School. Price also coached the women's track team, and Scott Sehmann was named as BGSU's new women's track coach in July. Sehmann also served as the interim women's cross country coach before Wells assumed the helm last Monday (Sept. 13).
Wells comes to BGSU after two years as a coach at Wichita State University. She began as a graduate assistant coach, was promoted to a full-time assistant and ultimately was named head men's and women's cross country coach as well as assistant track coach. While with the WSU program, she coached two conference track champions and six medal winners in distances ranging from 1,500 meters to 10,000 meters.
Prior to her stint at Wichita State, Wells was a volunteer coach at Dickinson State University in Dickinson, North Dakota (1997) and an assistant cross country coach at Blaine High School in Blaine, Minnesota (1996).
A 1995 graduate of Drake University, Wells earned a master's degree from Wichita State this year. While at Drake, she captained both the cross country and track teams, earning all-conference honors a total of eight times.
The Falcon women's cross country team is idle from competition until a week from Friday (Oct. 1), when BG heads to Indiana to compete in the Notre Dame Invitational.
