Cole Hardan, thrower on the track and field team, is entering his sixth year as an athlete at Baylor. Despite holding multiple program records, Hardan said his main reason for staying is because he is on pace to get his master’s degree.
“That’s mostly why I stayed, it was more of the academic part,” Hardan said. “Junior year was COVID, moving into senior year I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to have this extra year [of eligibility] stacked on top of it. Let’s see if I can get into a master’s program.”
