MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The new school year is just underway at the University of Memphis. However, before the 2018-19 track and field/cross country campaign kicks off this weekend, let's look back at the incredible 2017-18 year the Tigers had.
In fact, it was a "school-record" year in more ways than the individual marks in events for the Tigers. Memphis sent 23 qualifiers to the NCAA East Preliminaries, a school record. The Tigers had nine athletes advance to the NCAA Championships, another program record. And, on top of that, Memphis set 15 school event records for a campaign (indoor/outdoor combined) – also a school record.
