Wiley King Jr., formerly a standout athlete at Weber State University and assistant at the same school, was hired as an assistant coach for the University of Oklahoma track and field program in September of 2008. In 2008, King's athletes recorded a sweep of the men's 400-meter hurdles at the Big Sky Outdoor Track and Field Championships to go along with the 4x400-meter relay's first-place finish. Weber State's men's 4x100-meter relay took second at the conference meet, recording the third-fastest time in program history. King also had an athlete take second in the men's 400-meter dash. On the women's side, King had three athletes claim top-three finishes in the 400-meter hurdles, 100-meter hurdles and 100-meter dash. At the 2008 Big Sky Indoor Track and Field Championships, athletes coached by King accounted for 10 top-three finishes including three of the top four spots in the women's 60-meter hurdles. While at Weber State as an athlete, King was a four-year member of both the football and track and field teams. King won 13 Big Sky Conference titles and holds two Big Sky Conference records along with seven Weber State program records. King ranks in the Weber State all-time top-10 list in 12 events. A top performer in postseason competition, King is the Big Sky career scoring leader in indoor and outdoor conference championships. He totaled 115 career points in indoor championships and 108 in outdoor championships, the only athlete to ever score over 100 points in either championship. King competed in eight Big Sky Championships and won at least one event in every meet en route to being named the Big Sky Athlete of the Meet in six of the eight Championships. |
King earned NCAA All-America honors in the heptathlon in 2006 and was named the Weber State Male Athlete of the Year for 2003-2004, 2004-05 and 2005-06. In 2006 he was the recipient of the Weber State Male Career Achievement Award. King also played four years of football while at Weber State and is the Big Sky's all-time leader in kickoff returns and kickoff return yardage. As a senior in 2005, King was third on WSU's team in receptions and caught four touchdown passes. King is married to former Weber State runner and Big Sky champion, the former Monica McCloud.
