KERRVILLE, TX: The Schreiner University Athletics department has officially announced the hiring of Rajeem Garnett as the Head Coach of Schreiner University Men's & Women's Cross Country.

Garnett will be coming to Schreiner University after spending the previous two seasons as the Assistant Men's & Women's Cross Country coach at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (2020-2022). Before his time at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Garnett also spent six years as the head Men's & Women's Track and Cross Country coach at the Hill Country Christian School of Austin (2014-2020).

"We are excited to have Coach Garnett join our athletics staff here at Schreiner University" said Director of Athletics, Bill Raleigh "He will bring in valuable experience and knowledge of the Cross Country landscape as we look to continue to grow and establish our program within the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference."
