Starting this school year(2007-2008), Drury will sponsor Track & Field as an NCAA sport. Drury cross country runners previously were able to run open outdoor track and field meets as part of their spring cross country season, but, because the sport was not sponsored as an NCAA sport by Drury, were unable to participate in post-season competition(GLVC outdoor T&F meet). Starting this spring(2008) Drury runners will be able to participate in the GLVC outdoor T&F championships.
Although this decision will allow our runners to more fully experience outdoor track and field, Drury has not yet decided to fund an outdoor track and field team with athletes in other disciplines(sprints, hurdles, field events, throws, etc.). Drury will not be competing in indoor track and field meets and the focus will remain on middle distance and distance running during the outdoor track and field season.
