CUSA track championship

[GrandGreen]

Does UNT care about track and field?

NT track sports accounts for 6 of the 16 teams necessary to qualify for D1 status.

In the just concluded CUSA outdoor track and field championship, NT finished fifth in men and a horrible 11 in women.  

Track is primarily a partial scholarship sport.  Something that should greatly favor lower cost state schools in heavy populated areas. 

In the last 5 years, only 4 years with a conference meets because of Coronavirus, the best finish for the men was 4 in 2021 and women was 5 in 2018.

With an almost new facility built a couple of years ago, there are no excuses for NT not to fare better in track and field.

Weird timing for sure, I certainly knew nothing about that move.  However, I think the rather poor results in the last CUSA championship probably tipped the scales.  

It will be interesting to see, what Baker does.   He could hire separate coaches or continue with a post similar to what NT has now.
