For 25 years, the students of Kent State’s Trumbull campus have been without a formal athletic program. Now, Trumbull dean and chief administration officer Lance Grahn announced the campus will launch a cross country team during fall 2017.
“We wanted to take advantage of things that made sense in Mahoning Valley,” Grahn said. “Like cross country, which is well-established in this area.”
The team will start out as a club sport, but Grahn said he hopes by fall of 2018, cross country can become an official sport and the campus’ first intercollegiate sport.
The practices and meets will be held at the Trumbull campus, Grahn said.
