A school-record 14 Ole Miss athletes will leave Sunday for next week’s NCAA outdoor national meet in Eugene, Ore.
When Brian O’Neal, a Pontotoc native and a former Ole Miss track standout, left an assistant’s job at Florida to take over for Joe Walker, he talked about competing for championship.
Ole Miss has a long history of outstanding individual performances in track and field. O’Neal wants to see the Rebels increase their team finishes.
This year the Rebels were SEC cross country runners-up, fourth at the SEC indoor meet — their best finish in 31 years — and seventh at the outdoor meet.
