Notre Dame (OH) brings back Men’s and Women’s XC/T&F for 2023-24 after a half decade hiatus. VP/AD Swain: “Track and field and cross country provide numerous participation opportunities for many student-athletes. We know there is great potential for growth with these sports.” (link)

The NCAA has acknowledged an error from the Men’s 5000m at the T&F National Championships last weekend that incorrectly counted the number of laps, thus ringing the final lap bell one lap early. The error led Adams State student-athlete Jett-Reynolds, who is visually impaired, to empty the tank and pushed him to cross the line in third, one lap early. Jett-Reynolds recalls officially on his visually impaired side saying there was one more lap, but he assumed they were talking to another athlete. The error led to Jett-Reynolds finishing in 18th as opposed to 3rd. The NCAA’s statement, in part: “After the track and field officials realized the error, they attempted to inform the runners that they had another lap remaining. At the conclusion of the race, Adams State filed a protest. By rule, a minimum of two referees must review the protest and make a final decision. While the unfortunate lap-counting mistake caused confusion, the referees determined, since the full 5,000 meters were completed by all participants remaining in the race at the time the bell rang and the distance race could not be run again, the results would stand as completed. This scenario is regrettable for all involved but resulted in the fairest outcome.” (link)

Erskine selects Chicago State (DI) Assoc. HC/EC alum Jackson as its new WBB HC. Flying Fleet AD Peeler: “I have looked forward to this day for a long time. I have always felt Lisa Jackson would be the perfect fit to lead the Fleet's women's basketball program. She was an outstanding collegiate player in Due West, loves the game of basketball, and is passionate about providing young women an awesome collegiate experience." (link)
