Eagle Passan Christian Rogelio Garcia graduated from Texas A & M University-Kingsville on Friday, December 9, 2016, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and Special Education together with his educator credentials. TAMUK is coming to an end. Garcia is a two-sport standout student athlete at TAMUK in football and track and field. He will continue his studies for a Master of Science degree in the Spring Semester 2017 at TAMUK and compete one final semester in track and field, where is the defending shot put champion in the Lone Star Conference for the Javelinas.

Garcia has earned All-Conference honors in football during his four years on the varsity Javelinas football team. Garcia started in over 35 football games for the Javelinas football team. As the Center on the Offensive Line of the fighting Javelinas, Garcia earned several team, conference and national recognitions and awards for his outstanding play on the gridiron. He was named in 2015 and 2016 to the Lone Star Conference’s Honorable Mention Football Team as an Offensive Lineman, including a 2015 Pre-Season All-American Nomination.

Garcia also excels on the Track and Field Team for TAMUK. Among his many accolades are two Team Lone Star Conference Championships, one Shot Put Conference Championship, two All-Conference Awards, and 2015 Shot Put All- American Team Award. Garcia will compete in his final semester of eligibility for the Javelinas in track and field during the Spring semester of 2017 as a graduate student.

Garcia credits his faith, family and friends for the success he has achieved. His mother and grandparents attended nearly every game and track meet during his time at TAMUK. His local Coaches have played a very important role in his growth as an athlete, student and, more importantly, as an individual.

Garcia has compiled a long list of accomplishments and honors as a student-athlete as a TAMUK Javelina two-sport standout student-athlete. He has received many employment offers, but they will have to wait at least another semester or year while he competes in his final collegiate track and field season.

Garcia was joined by his parents, grandparents, family, and friends at a dinner following his graduation ceremony on December 9th to celebrate his Bachelor’s degree and achievements to date.

The Eagle Pass Business Journal congratulates Christian Rogelio Garcia on his graduation from TAMUK and his outstanding play in football and track and field for the fighting Javelinas during the past four years and wishes him the best in his future endeavors. Go Hawgs!
