Kevin Henderson begins his 8th season at TCU as assistant coach for hurdles after coming to Fort Worth in August 2012 after four years at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
During Henderson’s fifth season at TCU, he guided Brittney Trought to a successful season. The sophomore from Aledo, Texas, set personal best performances. In both the 60mH and 100mH in 2017. She finished 3rd indoor and 4th outdoor at the Big 12 Championships. Trought registered personal best times of 6:32 and 13.05 (w+3.5). She reached the NCAA Outdoor Championship in the 100mH where she finished 12th en route to Second Team All-America honors.
Henderson’s fourth season at TCU with the Frogs was also one to remember, as Senior Briama McGhee placed 12th in the 100mH semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2016. The Omaha, Neb. native clocked in at 13.13, tying for fourth in the first heat with Arkansas' Payton Stumbaugh. Placing in the top 16, McGhee earned Second Team All-America honors with her recent performance. McGhee started the campaign by breaking the school 60-meter hurdles record at the indoor season opener, and she wouldn't stop there. McGhee placed first in the opening three meets, and at the Big 12 Championships, she ran a season-best and school record time of 8.14 seconds. McGhee went on to place second at the Big 12 meet before competing at the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning Second-Team All-America honors in the 60 hurdles.
In his third season at TCU, Henderson coached junior transfer Brianna McGhee in a way that set her up to be the best 100-meter hurdler in school history. McGhee progressively stepped up her game throughout the season before truly showing out in the postseason. At the Big 12 Championships, McGhee took home fifth place with a wind-aided time of 13.25. Then at the NCAA West Prelims, she set her sight on the school record as she clocked in at 13.24, breaking Larissa Matthews' 2010 mark of 13.26. McGhee's time was good for a spot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
In his second season with the Frogs, Henderson directed freshman Jordan Moore to a spectacular debut, garnering Big 12 titles in the 60 and 110-meter hurdles events and Second Team All-America honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons.
