Meet Coach Tia Barginear
Ever since participating in the USATF Junior Olympics at the age of five, track and field has always been a passion for Barginear. During her childhood track and field days, she premiered at every Junior Olympic Championship until the age of 13 ranking nationally in the National Youth Elite Ranking System. At the high school level, she went on to win the Freshman-Sophomore Championship two years in a row setting the record in a 100M at 11.80, still holding the meet record to this day. She was also named track and field MVP, All-District and All-State in the 300M hurdles.
Barginear continued her education and pursuit in athletics at Kansas City Kansas Community College, where she competed for two years, garnering All-American status with the school record in the 400M hurdles at 58.90 and the women’s 4x100 at 44.90. After graduation, she was offered a full athletic scholarship to Texas Tech University where she competed in the 400M hurdles, 4x100 and 4x400m relays. There, she appeared at the 2004 and 2005 Texas relays, 2006 Penn Relays, Big 12 Championships and Regional Qualifying meets.
