UA1996MAENG Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) So see now that Tim Sykes left for VaTech, and two of the top runners from the 2023 MAC championship team went to Arkansas, but it seems like UA was slow to hire Syke's replacement. As of this morning there are only nine runners on the men's team. Also, Mary Munga is still listed on the women's roster but she transferred to University of Toledo (At least that is what the UT site says). I know I'm the mental patient for looking at this so closely, but Sykes today is still listed as an assistant T&F coach. At the very least, the UA SID needs to update some information on the website. https://hokiesports.com/staff/tim-sykes Edited August 29 by UA1996MAENG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy-claws Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Despite what our AD thinks, the track and field and xc programs are in total disarray. They like to hang their hat on the fact they won the MAC titles, but that's taking credit for winning a conference that completely sucks and has only 4 or 5 schools on the mens side, depending on whether you count Miami's distance runners as a complete team. The Greatest Coach EVAH has lost a throws coach, a PV coach and a distance coach in just 2 years, not to mention the runners and throwers who have left. You can blame the SID for lack of correct info, but it stinks what this program has devolved to. But hey, we'll probably win another 4-team MAC indoors this year. Can't figure out why Garretson stayed here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys that left were promised money that we don't have. Welcome to the new world of college athletics. All they wanted was a couple thousand bucks a month each. Maybe you could help out with that.
