Out of the blocks: Edwards transfers to CMU, becomes school’s only current football-track athlete

Berkley Edwards runs after practice on April 19 at the track around Bennett Field.

Dual-sport athletes have been waning in college athletics. They could be making a comeback on Central Michigan’s campus, partly because of Berkley Edwards.

Edwards is CMU's only student-athlete participating in two sports — football and track.

“So far, the relationship between track and football has been good,” said track Head Coach Mark Guthrie. “I never really was able to get anything going with Coach Enos. We will see how this goes and what (football Head Coach John Bonamego) thinks.”

Edwards, a Chelsea native, transferred to CMU from Minnesota before the spring semester.
