TEMPE, Ariz. – The Arizona State track and field program has named 14-year coaching veteran Tamara Ards as their new assistant coach with a focus on the women's sprint group, the program announced Tuesday.
Ards joins the Sun Devils after spending the last three seasons with North Carolina State, where she was recently a finalist for the NCAA Southeast Region Men's Assistant Coach of the Year.
"When we decided to separate the responsibilities for our men's and women's programs, we wanted to focus on the student-athlete experience. When we were beginning that search, we didn't have anybody specifically in mind," said Director of Sun Devil track & field Greg Kraft.
