Fall is upon us on Drake’s campus. The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground, the wind is cooling off and autumn breezes are wafting in and the squirrels are burying their stashes of winter nuts. With all the changing weather, the athletic department is experiencing some significant changes, too.
The track and field program has a brand new coaching staff for this school year. Former head coach Natasha Brown left in the summer of 2016 for the University of Missouri. In her absence, former head cross country coach Dan Hostager (now assistant director of Drake Relays) and hurdles coach LaRon Bennett, along with distance coach Jacob Kaemmer, served as the coaching staff for the 2016-2017 school year.
