Glass Announces New Cross Country Course Named The Sam Bell Cross Country Course After Legendary Coach

Bloomington, Indiana – Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass announced today that IU's newly-constructed championship cross country course has been named the Sam Bell Cross Country Course, in honor of Indiana University's late Hall of Fame Cross Country and Track and Field coach.

Glass also announced that a formal dedication of the new facility will be scheduled later this year consistent with COVID-19 developments.

"Sam was a legend in his profession and an extraordinary teacher and mentor to hundreds of students and colleagues during his 29 years at Indiana University," said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass.
