Following a search process that began in February and stretched for nearly four months, the Texas Longhorns announced on Wednesday that Edrick Floreal is the new track and field coach.
“Edrick is a terrific coach who has a tremendous reputation in the track and field community,” athletics director Chris Del Conte said in a statement. “He’s a coach I’ve followed for a long time and is so well respected. Everyone I talked to had great things to say, and I really enjoyed visiting with him. I am excited about what he’ll bring to our program and how he’ll build on the proud tradition of Texas track and field.
