SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA track & field teams will have a pair of new staffers around the Park West Athletics Complex this fall, as UTSA Director Track & Field/Cross Country Aaron Fox announced on Friday that the Roadrunners have hired Fabien Corbillon and Chris Davis as assistant coaches heading into the 2026-27 season.
“We’re excited to get both of these talented coaches to San Antonio,” Fox said. “Looking forward to continuing to produce elite performers at the highest levels with these world-class coaches coming into the program.”
Corbillon arrives in San Antonio with over 25 years of coaching experience as a former decathlete who has participated in multiple national championships and has been part of 10 conference team championships. He spent last season at Lamar (2025-26), where he guided Southland Conference Field Athlete of the Year, school record-holder and conference heptathlon champion Mariam Buenanueva-Saleme. Four Lamar school records fell on his watch with the Cardinals. During the previous year, he served the multis and vertical jumpers at Maine (2025), dropping a pair of school records in Orono.
“I am incredibly excited to begin this new chapter at UTSA and to join a program with such a rich tradition of excellence,” Corbillon said. “I am truly thankful for the confidence that Coach Fox and Dr. Campos have placed in me and for the opportunity to help carry the torch and continue building on everything that has been established within this program. I’m excited to get to work with so many talented student-athletes, help them reach their full potential, and contribute to their success both on and off the track. I can’t wait to hit the ground running on the recruiting trail and help bring the next generation of talented athletes to UTSA.”
In two seasons at Kansas State (2022-24), Corbillon worked across the multi-events, vertical jumps, sprints and hurdles for the Wildcats, where he mentored 2024 Olympic Gold medalist Eugene Omalla (Netherlands) while also developing three regional qualifiers and six All-America honorees.
Prior to his time at Kansas State, Corbillion worked the 2015-20 seasons at Texas State as the assistant men's and women's track & field coach, where he played a leading role in guiding the Bobcats to three women's indoor conference titles, two women's outdoor titles, and a men's outdoor and indoor championship. Individually, Corbillion coached 26 Sun Belt conference champions, 63 all-conference honorees, five All-Americans, 27 NCAA Regional qualifiers, and a pair of USATF National qualifiers – with his athletes downing 12 TXST records and five Sun Belt Records.
From 2006-15, Corbillion was at Wright State, serving three seasons as assistant coach and then six seasons as head coach, where he posted tremendous success for the student-athletes under his tutelage. In his nine seasons, he instructed 20 Horizon League Champions with 77 all-conference performers, 203 Wright State record-breaking performances, nine Horizon League records, and the school's first-ever All-American and NCAA Regional qualifiers, in addition to nine USATF National qualifiers.
Corbillon, who grew up in Orléans, France, began his career as an assistant coach at Lakehead University (2001-03) in Thunder Bay, Ontario, followed by two years at Florida A&M (2004-06), where he helped the Rattlers capture the 2005 MEAC Men's Indoor and Outdoor Championships, along with numerous individual accolades and NCAA qualifiers.
A former track and field athlete himself, Corbillon was a decathlete who competed in multiple French National Championships, including a decathlon regional title in 1998. He holds a Bachelor's in Sports and Physical Education from the University of Orléans in France and a Master of Science in Kinesiology from Lakeland, completing everything but the dissertation on a Doctorate in Sport Psychology at Florida State.
Taking over sprints and hurdles for the Roadrunners, Davis got his coaching start with UTSA while working with the same groups as a volunteer assistant coach for seven years following his own collegiate success as an athlete. Over the years, Davis assisted in the training of some notable Roadrunners, including Bashiru Abdullahi (two-time All-American, three-time Conference USA Champion, 110m hurdles and 60m hurdles record-holder), Alanah Yukich (2024 Olympian and two-time Conference USA Champion), Mike Roth (All-American, two-time Conference USA Champion, 2023 CUSA High Points Scorer, 400m indoor record-holder), Faith Roberson (400m hurdles record-holder), Desmond Jefferson (Conference USA Champion) and Vasha Sheriff (former indoor 400m record-holder).
“I am truly blessed and excited about this amazing opportunity,” Davis said. “I am thankful to God and everyone who has supported and helped me along this journey. My goal is to build a sprints and hurdles program rooted in hard work, consistency and a growth mindset, while helping our athletes reach their full potential and creating something that we can be proud of for years to come.”
Davis will join the staff after spending the last season of his three years at the school as TMI Episcopal’s Upper School head coach. He built up a disciplined and successful environment at TMI, leading the team to consecutive top five finishes at the TAPPS State Championships and coached the TAPPS 400m State Champion in Kagan Hill. While coaching the middle school sprints and hurdles, Davis led the team to the 2023 ISAL Team State Championship title. He’s also spent more than two years coaching sprints and hurdles for San Antonio Sprint Elite Track Club, training 15 athletes who qualified for the 2024-26 National AAU Track & Field Championships.
A standout sprinter and hurdler at Missouri, Davis earned his undergraduate degree in Marketing. He was a six-time All-Big 12 performer and a three-time NCAA West Regional qualifier, reaching the USATF National Championships seven times after coming to Columbia as the Georgia 4A High School State Champion in the 300m hurdles.
