Track and Field Looks to Raise the Bar in the 2017-18 Season

PHILADELPHIA – Entering its fourth season under the direction of head coach Elvis Forde, Temple women's track and field is looking to make great strides in the coming year. The squad will kick off its indoor season on Friday, Dec. 1 at the Fastrack Season Opener.

"When I arrived at Temple, I said that by my fourth season I expected to see our team make a transition, reaching more success than it had then," said Forde. "Part of that was the expectation that everyone on our staff would recruit athletes of quality. The past couple of years we have brought in 16-plus freshmen and more than half of them, we consider high-caliber performers.
