The legacy of the Cougars track and field team is, in a word, historic.
With numerous Olympic gold medalists produced in past years, the men’s track and field team is now coming off a season where they swept the American Conference Championships, setting their sights even higher for 2017. With very few athletes lost, coupled with the presence of the world class freshmen from a year ago, they expect to compete on the national stage at season’s end.
“We feel like we have a really talented group of athletes,” said Head coach Leroy Burrell. “(There will be) a lot of opportunities to push our agenda forward and continue to seek championships.
