Changes come and go, but for the Drake track and field team, to be left without a head coach for the start of the fall season was an unexpected change.
It was announced on Aug. 4 that now former head coach Natasha Brown would be taking a coaching position at the University of Missouri and her husband, Associate Athletic Director and Drake Relays Director Brian Brown, would be taking an Athletic Director position there as well.
However, the team is not stranded when it comes to preseason training. Assistant coaches LaRon Bennett, who coaches hurdles, and Dan Hostager, who coaches distance, are fulfilling the duties as temporary coaches to help ease the transition.
