University of Maryland Track and Field Program Could be Cut
Recently the Maryland Track and Field community was informed that due to financial concerns the University may be cutting the program. This is terrbile news and would obviously be another blow to the overall success of our sport. Its ok, at least the football team has 20 different combos of uniforms.
Below is a note that was taken from the Facebook group designed to save the program. Join the Facebook Group HERE to show your support. And LIKE this article below to spread the word to your friends.
"Due to UMD's budget crisis, Kevin Anderson announced today to the entire track and field family that all three seasons of Men's running (XC, Indoor, and Outdoor Track and Field) are being recommended to be cut from the University Athletics. This team's history runs as deep as the university itself. Dating all the way back to 1923, the running program boasts 8 NCAA champions, innumerable All-Americans (most recently, our very own Dwight Barbiaz, high jumper 2011), and over 50 ACC Team Titles.
The cross country and track and field programs here at Maryland are very unique; we truly are a family. Taking away the guys' side is like taking away our very brothers. Cutting entire sports teams, especially those which have won so many titles, is not the solution to the financial problem.
Time to rally, Terps! Voice your support and help save the team!!"
