I guess cancelling the outdoor T&F season was one way to stop the hemorrhaging of WCU track & field program to 2d teir status in the SoCon. At least temporarily.

I haven't seen any announcements from the school about T&F signings.

Is the T&F program now on the way down? Samford swept the championship, the women came in about 5th place and the men came in second, but 30 points down. What's up? The track teams will be fine they'll bounce back next year.

The biggest problem for us is the lack of depth where we are good in some areas like the 200m , 400m and the jumping events we dominate but the areas where we lack or have nobody running at all like the 60m, 100m, the hurdles and the distance events schools like Furman and Samford have a ton of depth in those events but that can be fixed if the coaches can recruit some athletes in those areas.

Sorry, but that's like saying the football program has a good offense, but sucks on the defensive side of the ball. We know how that works out. Point being, we can't now keep up with schools like Samford in Track and Field, and have always done poorly in Cross Country.
