About RUN West Texas

Hi, I am Charity Welps, the Director of RUN West Texas and I am so excited that I was able to bring this program to Amarillo for young track athletes to get in work during the full year. Whether you are in elementary, junior high, or high school, our goal is to develop the passion for track while continuing to build it as you get older.

Teaching you to RUN today so you can FLY tomorrow.

Charity Welps – Director

Hey, I am Charity Welps and I have been a coach in the Amarillo and Lubbock area for 15 years. I am a wife to a Head football coach, a mom to two bonus kids Scout and Lance, a little girl Piper, and a CiCi to Cal. I have been a Head Volleyball Coach for 9 years and an assistant for two. I have also been a Head Softball coach for two years and an assistant for one. Lastly, I have been a Head Track coach for two years and an assistant for ten years. I love sports and I love working with young people to build that passion for sports as well. I wanted to create an opportunity in Amarillo for our track athletes to grow year round which has not been available before! It has been fun seeing this program take off and excited to continue to watch the young people of Amarillo and surrounding towns find their love for track and field!

Nickalus Alcozer – Pampa Coach

I’ve lived in Pampa for 16 years. I’m the Director of purchasing at Flogistix. I have many after hour passions. I coach soccer 5U boys, football, boxing and of course I coach track. My passion for athletics probably comes from serving in the US Army. I’ve never stopped working out or being physically and mentally fit. This is the one thing I try to instill in my young athletes: Integrity… doing the right thing when nobody’s watching.
I live by this Moto: God, family and Country.

Interested in Coaching?

Thanks to all the coaches that have stepped up to help RUN West Texas get going and for those that will come our way. Always looking for coaches that love helping young athletes in running (sprints/distance), jumping events, throwing events, hurdles, and relays.

We want to expand and continue to grow the Amarillo area but we are in need of coaches that can help as we continue to grow. Please reach out and contact Charity Welps at 806-664-1831 if you would like to help.
