Torres joined the Lancer cross country and track staff in the fall of 2025.
Torres most recently coached at Randolph College while also running for Liberty in his final collegiate seasons of eligibility. Torres specialized in hurdles at Liberty, where he finished as the Conference USA runner-up in the 400 hurdles, and he is eighth all-time in the 400 hurdles.
“Coach Torres is bought in on the vision of raising the standard for Longwood Track and Field,” said Longwood Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Brooke Craig. “He has a plan to develop our athletes into all-conference contenders whiles continuing to grow and develop our sprints, jumps, and hurdles. I am looking forward to working with him!”
As a coach at Randolph, he helped the women’s hurdlers lower their average time by three seconds this past spring. In addition, Randolph had a variety of sprinters earn all-conference honors and one sprinter qualify for nationals.
At Liberty as a runner, he ran the eighth-fastest time in the 400 hurdles in Liberty history, winning the WildCat Invitational with a time of 51.68. That time also was the fastest time in Conference USA during the spring.
Torres also holds his USATF Level 1 coaching certification. He holds his Bachelor’s of Arts in Kinesiology from Occidental College, where he also ran track and qualified for nationals at the Division III level. He then graduated with his Master’s of Science in Human Performance: Strength Training and Conditioning from Liberty this past spring.
