The University of Nebraska Athletic Department has announced that Matt Wackerly has been named Nebraska's new head cross country coach, as well as distance and middle distance coach for the track and field program.
Wackerly currently serves as the Huskers' on campus recruiting coordinator, but he will take over as head coach of the cross country program after David Harris retired last week after 10 years as NU's distance coach.
Before coming to Nebraska in 2016, Wackerly was the head cross country coach at NCAA Division III Ohio Wesleyan. He coached eight All-Americans and two NCAA Division III all-time top-10 performers, in addition to the first men's and women's NCAA qualifying teams at Ohio Wesleyan in 25 years.
