A 'change of culture': Brian Etelman has big plans for track and field, cross country

Brian Etelman is looking for winners.

“Someone who never settles, is self driven and self motivated.”

This is the premise of Etelman's coaching style and what he has tried to implement as he heads into his second season as Ball State's cross country and track and field coach.

It has been an uphill climb for the Cardinals, as they finished last in the MAC in both the cross country and track championship meets last season.
