Guillen set what were then program records in the four-mile and 8,000-meter runs in cross country. In track & field, he broke the program record for the indoor 5,000-meter run while winning the conference championship in 1991, and then later went on to break the program record for the outdoor 10,000-meter run. After graduating, Guillen continued running, winning the 1997 San Antonio Marathon.
 
"UTPA gave me the opportunity to dream big and enjoy something I've always enjoyed," Guillen said. "I know that tradition's going to continue here."
