SEASON PREVIEW: Track & Field gets ready for outdoor season

Following their seventh-place finishes in the Big East Track & Field indoor championships, both the men’s and women’s teams are now gearing up for the upcoming outdoor season.

In track & field, the outdoor season brings some changes in events and strategies, but the main focus on training for speed and performance stays the same.

Coach Bert Rodgers said that athletes may need to adapt to various events, such as throwing the discus and hammer instead of the weight throw or running shorter hurdle races indoors.

But, the training for the outdoor season as opposed to the indoor stays the same.
