Having been hired to re-start West Texas
AM softball following a 24-year absence,
Kevin Blaskowski has wasted little time in
building the Lady Buffs into a perennial
national title contender. In 11 years at the
helm, he has registered a 424-235 mark, re-
corded six NCAA tournament berths and an
overall record of 776-512 over 24 seasons.
While at WT, Blaskowski has claimed four Lone Star Conference title, three
LSC Tournament Title, three South Central Regional Championships, two South
Central Super Regional Titles and made a pair of appearances in the NCAA
Division II College World Series, claiming the 2014 NCAA Division II National
Championship.
2016 was arguably one of the best seasons in Lone Star Conference history
as the Lady Buffs finished the season ranked fifth in the final NFCA DII Top-25 Poll
with an overall record of 59-5 while rolling thru the LSC with an incredible mark
of 30-2 to claim their third straight conference title. The Lady Buffs started out
the season on a roll as they went unbeaten in their first 30 contests to set a new
LSC and South Central Region record for consecutive wins. WT claimed their
third straight LSC Title with over two weeks left in the regular season followed by
a run to the LSC Tournament Championship, WT then hosted the South Central
Regionals as they came thru the loser’s bracket with a pair of Sunday wins over
Colorado Mesa including a walkoff homerun in the finale. The Lady Buffs then
hosted St. Mary’s in the Super Regionals and a Schaeffer Park record crowd
sparked a sweep of the Rattlers as WT made their second trip to the DII College
World Series.
The Lady Buffs continued their dominance in 2015 as Blaskowski led the
program to their second straight and third overall Lone Star Conference
Championship as they finished the season 45-11 with a 22-6 mark in LSC play.
WT made national news during the 2015 season, remaining the top team in
the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Top-25 Poll for a
record 56-straight weeks (2/26/14 - 3/25/15). WT led the nation in four offensive
statustical categories during the 2015 season while also hitting 102 homeruns to
become the first team in Division II history to reach the century mark in back-
to-back years after hitting 105 bombs in 2014. Senior outfielder Renee Erwin
concluded her incredible collegiate career in style as the Anna, Texas native
became the first player in history to be named a back-to-back winner of the
Daktronics Ron Lenz National Player of the Year award.
2014 saw the Lady Buffs capture the program’s first ever NCAA Division II
National Championship as WT topped perennial power Valdosta State in a
Memorial Day thriller at the Moyers Sports Complex in Salem, Virginia. The Lady
Buffs finished their dream season with an overall record of 60-7, becoming just
the fourth team in NCAA history to win a title while also reaching the 60-win
mark (Cal State Northridge-1985; Augustana-1991; North Dakota State-2000).
Blaskowski and his staff were rewarded for their efforts on the diamond, being
named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II National
Coaching Staff of the Year while Coach B also picked up Lone Star Confer-
ence Coach of the Year accolades.
Coach B reached another career milestone in 2013 as he claimed his
600th career victory against St. Edward’s in Austin, Texas on April 14th. The 2012
season saw the Lady Buffs make another appearance in the LSC Tournament
before falling to rival Angelo State in the semifinal round, WT just missed out
on the NCAA Postseason, finishing the season with an overall record of 35-18.
Blaskowski reached a personal milestone on February 19, 2012 as he coached
his 1,000th career game in a win over New Mexico Highlands in Canyon.
The 2011 season saw the Lady
Buffs make a historic run to their
first ever South Central Regional
Championship as they finished the
season with an overall record of
50-18. WT claimed the program’s
first ever Lone Star Conference
Tournament Championship in 2011.
Blaskowski also reached a personal
milestone in 2011, claiming his 500th
career victory on March 5 in a 15-2
win over Eastern New Mexico at
Lady Buff Yard in Canyon, the win
was also special for WT’s centerfield-
er Kim LeComte who hit for the first
cycle in program history. The Lady
Buffs finished the 2010 season with a
45-18 overall record and advanced
to the NCAA South Central Region
Finals. Blaskowski was honored as the
Lone Star Conference South Division
Coach of the Year.
Blaskowski was hired in Decem-
ber of 2004 to bring back the softball
program to WTAMU’s campus after
a 24 year absence. Blaskowski came
to WT from Lone Star Conference
rival Eastern New Mexico University
where he served as the head coach
for one year. Prior to ENMU, Blaskow-
ski coached at Southern Arkansas
University for five years, where he
started the SAU softball program
and led them to the postseason in
each of his five years. In 2003, SAU
was the Co-Champion of the West
Division in the Gulf South Confer-
ence with a 31-19 overall record and
a 19-4 conference mark. While at
SAU, Blaskowski served as a member
of the NCAA Division II South Region
rating committee in addition to be-
ing named Gulf South Conference
Co-Coach of the Year in 2000.
Blaskowski also has served as the head coach at Phillips University from
1996-1998. He started the program at Phillips which qualified for postseason
play in each of its two seasons before the school closed in 1998. He was also
the head coach at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., and Kansas Wesley-
an University, in Salina, Kan.
Blaskowski received a Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in
Physical Education from Valley City State University in North Dakota in 1986.
He completed a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in Health,
Physical Education and Recreation at Emporia State University in Kansas in
1989.
Blaskowski and his beautiful wife, April, are the parents of two daughters,
Kaelyn Rose and Kelsey Rhea.
