Online Flexibility puts Former MTSU sprinter on Track for Degree after Decades Away from Classroom

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After four decades, a two-time Ohio Valley Conference track champion is set to finish the biggest race of his life at Middle Tennessee State University this summer.

Now 63 and living in Fayetteville, Georgia, Ed Stegall says he had always wanted to finish after leaving MTSU in the late 70s, but like many others he found work, started a family and decided that taking care of them would be his No. 1 priority.

Over the last 40 years Stegall was a track coach and worked with children who had special needs.
