           Ally (Swaim) Hudson took the reins of the running programs at CBC on August 1, 2023.

           The 2023-24 season saw both running teams make strides throughout the year. In the fall cross country season, Josh Brown earned recognition as an all-academic team selection on the men's side while the women's team finished seventh in the AMC Championship. In the spring outdoor track & field season, Brown won the championship in the men's 110-meter hurdles for the second straight season and he and Evan East both earned All-Academic team recognition and NAIA Daktronics Scholar Athlete recogntion. On the women's side, Lindsey Risner and Bay Davis both earned All-Academic Team recognition as well.

Hudson ran both cross country and track for five seasons for the Mustangs, from 2018 to 2023. She was a three-time American Midwest Conference champion in the 100-meter hurdles in outdoor track and an AMC champion in the 400-meter hurdles in outdoor track as well. She also won indoor track championships in the 60-meter hurdles (2022 & 2023) and the 200-meter dash (2022).

            "I'm excited to be coaching the Mustangs' Cross Country and Track programs," said Hudson. "I loved every minute of being a part of the team and I'm so thankful I do not have to give that up after being a student-athlete the last five years. My goal is to grow the team over the next few years. Central Baptist College is such an amazing place to be a part of and I'm so thankful to be here. Go Mustangs!"

            Hudson graduated in May 2023 with a degree in General Studies and a minor in Kinesiology. She is from Vilonia and helped launch the track program in the Spring of 2019.
