MU Announces Men's Track and Field Newcomers

MILWAUKEE – The Marquette University men's track and field team, under the direction of 13th-year head coach Bert Rogers, has announced 14 new additions ahead of the 2019-20 season.

"With this group of newcomers, I think we'll have some of the greatest team depth that we've ever had," Rogers said. "So many guys will be fighting for those top 10 spots. In addition, every middle and long distance event on the track will be well stocked with talent."

This year's class of recruits showcases four recruits from Wisconsin and Illinois. Two recruits are from Minnesota while Indiana, Maryland, Missouri and New Jersey are represented. Each event group is represented and features six distance athletes who will compete for head coach Mike Nelson and the Marquette cross country squad this fall.

All newcomers are able to compete immediately and have four years of eligibility remaining for a squad that combined for a team-record 33 All-BIG EAST honors and eight conference champions during indoor and outdoor competitions.
