Before Loyola-Chicago Was In The Final Four They Were Lightin' Up The Track
No. 11 Loyola-Chicago's March Madness run has thrust them into the national spotlight, but years prior they were lighting up the track.
The NCAA Final Four is this weekend, and while most of our brackets have been busted by now there still is hope for one Cinderella team from Illinois.
Loyola-Chicago has grabbed the national spotlight with their impressive tourney run so far. But let's not forget that Loyola has produced some great track athletes in recent years, most notably 800m specialist Declan Murray and miler Sam Penzenstadler, who currently trains with Matthew Centrowitz.
Check out two-time All-American Declan Murray's reaction to Loyola's run.
