Alex Tebbe joined LMU as an assistant coach for the cross country program ahead of the 2026-27 season.
 

Tebbe comes to LMU after 10 seasons on the coaching staff at Cal State Fullerton, where he helped build one of the Big West Conference's most successful distance programs. He contributed to sustained success across women's and men's cross country as well as indoor and outdoor track and field, guiding the Fullerton women's cross country team to the program's first Big West Conference Championship in school history in 2019. He also helped the Titans capture five Big West Outdoor Track and Field team championships on the men's side and one on the women's side, with both programs posting top ten finishes at the NCAA West Region Cross Country Championships.
 

Across his tenure, Tebbe coached 40 All-Big West performers, including 16 in cross country and 24 in track and field. His athletes won eight individual Big West Conference titles and 11 qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary Championships. He coached two NCAA Championship qualifiers in the women's 800 meters, including a Second-Team All-American in 2019, and mentored athletes to 16 indoor and outdoor school records. His student-athletes also thrived in the classroom, with 46 earning Big West All-Academic honors and two named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team.
 

Prior to coaching, Tebbe was a four-year student-athlete at UC Irvine, competing as a distance runner for the Anteaters. He earned his bachelor's degree in psychology and social behavior with an emphasis in social ecology in 2015.
