PULLMAN, WA -On Monday night, June 16th, it was announced by Washington State that there will be immediate changes to their track and field program.
The WSU athletic leadership met with members of the men’s and women’s track and field teams to inform them of changes.
These changes to the program will shift more towards a distance-focused approach.
What it means is that the field events, as jumps and throws, will no longer be supported, effective immediately.
While the number of spring and hurdle opportunities will be limited moving forward.
As for the student-athletes affected by this change, WSU will honor their scholarships should they remain at WSU.
If student-athletes wish to change schools, WSU will provide transition support and services to help those student-athletes.
These changes will make a big difference to the Cougar track and field program in the future.
