His first season at the helm of the Eagles' award-winning cross country program was a resounding success. He helped Kellian Hunt reach her full potential and win an NAIA National Championship, while guiding three others to All-American status. Also, his women's team claimed the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship with Hunt and Kevin Horchler both winning individual GSAC Championships. Henning was named the GSAC Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year.

In his first year with the Eagles' track and field program, coach Henning led 22 student-athletes to All-American honors and 12 GSAC Championships .In both Cross Country and Track, the Eagles had 37 All-GSAC student-athetes, while breaking eight school records and winning two conference championships. The men's Cross Country team finished 25th at nationals while the women's team finished third. The women's indoor and outdoor track teams posted 10th and sixth place finishes at nationals respectively. Coach Henning put together the 2015-2016 Women's NAIA Program of the Year and was named the 2016 USTFCCCA NAIA West Region Women's Coach of the Year.

Henning's second season of cross country was just as much of a success as the first as he again led the women's team to a Golden State Athletic Conference title and earned the women's cross country conference coach of the year honors again. That same team finished third at the NAIA National Championship meet and had two runners (Emily Ransom and Lyndee Dawson) earn NAIA All-American status. The men's team had another strong year, finishing tied for second at the conference meet and sending a full team to the national championship meet once again. Combined, the two teams had nine all-conference runners, two All-American runners and an astounding eight NAIA/GSAC Scholar-Athletes.

During his second track & field season he led the Eagles to a pair of podium finishes at the GSAC Track & Field Championships. The women's side placed second and the men finished third. He coached his student-athletes to five GSAC Championship winning performances, including an impressive run of the women's 3,000m steeplechase where Biola Eagles took spots 1-3. The women's team scored top-30 finishes at both the NAIA Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

His third season was transition time for Biola as the Eagles were NCAA Division II members and a part of the PacWest Conference for the first time. Since Biola was not yet eligible for NCAA postseason competition it also held dual-membership in the National Christian College Athletic Association. Henning led the men's cross country team to a NCCAA National Championship in the fall, making it Biola's first team championship in any sport in 30+ years. Gabe Plendcio won an individual national title in that race, while Biola's women's team placed second overall. In total, Henning coached eight student-athletes to All-American honors in that meet. He was named the NCCAA Men's Coach of the Year.

Both cross country teams also competed at the PacWest Championship for the first time that year (2017) and both sides finished third. A total of six student-athletes earned All-PacWest honors during that race, making them the first Biola student-athletes in any sport to claim that honor.

The track season saw Biola finish sixth (men's) and seventh (women's) at the PacWest Championships and saw some individual runners compete at the NCCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Crystal Jardines (10k) and Stephanie Croy (3k steeple) won NCCAA National Championships and the Eagles claimed 13 NCCAA All-American honors. Henning's programs were a major reason Biola led the PacWest in Academic All-PacWest honors for 2017-18, accounting for 64 of Biola's 176 awards.

The 2018-19 season was a remarkable one for both Biola Cross Country and Track & Field. Both Cross Country programs won the National Christian College Athletic Association national championship and men's cross country took home Biola's first-ever PacWest Conference Championship in ANY SPORT. Gabe Plendcio led the effort during cross country season, winning the individual title for both the NCCAA and PacWest Conference. The women's side finished third at PacWest in a competitive race that saw Point Loma and Azusa Pacific tie for the title. The two sides combined for 13 NCCAA All-American honors and 10 All-PacWest honors.

Track & Field season saw Nathaniel Belden and Ryan Thompson break school records and Mackenna Mason win both the 5k and 10k titles at the NCCAA National Championships. Sarah Prystupa won the pole vault and Hannah Hubbard won the triple jump to bring the Eagles four titles in the spring. The highlight of the PacWest Championship meet was Ryan Thompson, who won the 10k title by :00.08 seconds. This season the track & field teams took home eight all-conference honors and 12 NCCAA All-American honors. The teams continued to achieve in the classroom as well, earning NCCAA Scholar Team status and having 71 Academic All-PacWest honors.

In the middle of the 2018-19 school year alumna Kellian Hunt was inducted into Biola Athletics' Hall of Fame. Henning delivered Hunt's introduction at the ceremony.

Biola men's cross country continued its run of success in 2019, as the Henning-led Eagles notched the PacWest crown in consecutive seasons. Gabe Plendcio led the way for the whole conference, winning the individual championship once again. The men went on to take sixth at regionals and 25th at nationals in their first appearance at either stage. On the women's side, BU tied for second at the PacWest Championships and ultimately nabbed 14th in the first NCAA DII West Region Championships. On the track, both teams saw their season cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Athletics returned in the spring of the 2020-21 season, leaving cross country with a canceled campaign. Track and field took to the competition with a unique season, competing solely in central and southern California. Both teams fought for a fifth place finish at the PacWest Championships in Fresno, California. Rebeka Preston and Emily Alvarez each highlighted the women's group with an appearance at Nationals. Preston earned a spot in the heptathlon and grabbed 10th with 4688 points and Alvarez nabbed 9th place in the 400 hurdles finals.

The 2021-22 season saw the resumption of both the cross country and track and field teams with a full season schedule. Men's cross country started strong with a win over the field of 21 teams at the Biola Invitational. Ronald Kigen and Brady DeHaven led the way, as the Eagles nabbed third at the PacWest Championships and seventh at Regionals. On the women's side, freshman Lynette Ruiz paced the squad with consistently top-tiered times and a second place individual finish at the PacWest Championships. BU took second place in conference by one point and ultimately headed to the NCAA West Region Championships and finished fifth in a field of 24 teams.

BU women's track and field saw multiple program records in 2022. Jada Pierce bolstered the hammer throw crown with a best mark of 49.31, which helped her win the event at the conference championships. Lynette Ruiz added to her rookie season with a program record in the 10,000 run, finishing first at the Mike Fanelli Track Classic with a time of 35:18.47. The NCAA provisional mark helped her to a Nationals appearance where she placed 13th.

In his eight season at Biola, Henning and the Eagles were the top dogs in the conference. The men's and women's cross country squads took home the team crowns at the PacWest Championships to go along with individual championships from Lynette Ruiz and Benjamin White. Success across the board led to Men's and Women's PacWest Coach of the Year awards for Henning in 2022. Both teams would go on to place in the top six teams at regionals, before the women advanced to NCAA DII Nationals nationals for the first time in program history.

2023 saw continued success for Biola Cross Country under Henning's leadership. The women's squad won its second-straight conference title and went on for its best finish at NCAA West Regionals with a second place showing. All seven Eagles landed in the top 22 at the conference meet with six, scoring an All-PacWest honor. The team was led by All-American Susi Bruennig, as they finished 17th as a team at Nationals. On the men's side, BU took second at the PacWest Championships and Jerry Baltzer was the leader in the clubhouse, finishing first as the PacWest Individual Champion. The team went on to Regionals and grabbed seventh place, just missing out on advancing to Nationals.

The 2013 and 2014 men's teams qualified for the NCAA National Meet in its first two eligible seasons, placing 22nd and 24th in the nation and having one runner earn All-American status.

Leading up to being postseason eligible in the NCAA, the CBU Track & Field program had 23 student-athletes earn NCCAA All-American honors and six individuals won NCCAA National Championships.
