In what may or may not be a strategic move for the long term health of the program, Cal Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Tony Sandoval announced on Monday that he will retire at the end of the Outdoor Track and Field Season this spring.
Sandoval’s statement:
It’s been an honor and pleasure to coach and mentor at the University of California, Berkeley,” Sandoval said. “I have proudly watched young athletes persevere through adversity to become fine men and women who graduate and begin successful careers. I’m thankful for the outstanding friendship and professionalism from some truly outstanding administrators, staff, and track & field assistant coaches, both as a head coach and as a fellow assistant.
