World-class sprinters are hard to come by in Provo, but Tatenda Tsumba, a junior from Zimbabwe, basically fell into the laps of BYU track coaches.
Tsumba, who was part of his country’s Olympic team in Rio, will be part of a Cougar contingent at the NCAA Track and Field Outdoor Championships this week in Eugene, Oregon.
Tsumba will join 12 other Cougar men who have qualified for the championship. Only Texas A&M (18), Arkansas (16) and host Oregon (14) have more targeted for events this week, a definite Power 5 type showing of Ed Eyestone’s program.
