Track and Field is arguably the most unique sport in college athletics. On one hand it is very individual and on another it is all about team. You have sprinters, distance runners, shot put throwers and jumpers that each with their unique skills are asked to specialize in two or three events.
Historically, BYU the Men’s Track team has been really good at the distance events with only a few good sprinters and field event specialists coming in time to time but things are changing and it could lead to an all time best finish at the NCAA Championships next month.
