Marshall head cross country and track and field assistant coach Caleb Bowen agrees that the return of track will help the distance teams in the fall as well. We welcome any one who would enjoy the Division I experience." "Thank you to the Board of Governors, President Smith, and AD Spears for bringing back men's track and field. "We're thrilled on this decision, we are really happy that West Virginia athletes have the chance to compete in their home state for Division I competition," Small said. The men's program, dormant since 2003, won the Southern Conference Indoor Championships in 1997. It is a monumental moment for head track and field coach Jeff Small, who has been the leader of the Marshall program since 1995. We are ready for you to join us at Marshall." Come get a great education, compete at the highest level and help us get in the hunt for a Sun Belt championship.

If you want to compete in these sports, Marshall is ready to welcome you. "Most importantly, we will be the only Division I program in the State of West Virginia with both Men's and Women's Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field programs. "The experience our Cross Country programs will now have is surely going to be augmented by being able to compete all year in distance events within the Indoor and Outdoor track seasons. "The Sun Belt provides our Track and Field program with a platform to launch from and adding Men's Track and Field back will serve as a great complement to our Women's program. "I'm so genuinely excited to announce our sport sponsorship once again of Indoor and Outdoor Men's Track and Field," Spears said. The MU Board of Governors officially approved the sport addition Wednesday morning. Marshall University Director of Athletics Christian Spears announced Wednesday the return of the men's track and field program as a Division I championship sport, effective for 2022-23.
