CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Training for an indoor track season during the winter always carries a creative flair for college coaches. In normal years, they often map out unique ways to get athletes on the road in between snowfalls, and they crunch workouts into facilities occasionally shared by and with other teams. Their methods work within limits to tap limitless potential within their athletes, and meet weekends are further designed to push constant improvement within competitive settings.
All of that is tricky in a normal year, but the 2020-21 season added a degree of difficulty to Boston College men's track and field head coach Matt Kerr.
