Delaware Mens Track and Cross Country to End After 100 Years

It was announced recently that the 100th year of Delaware Mens Track and Field and Cross-Country would be its last.  I'm not sure whether it was primarily budgetary, Title IX or merely the whim of a bureaucrat, but it stinks all the same.  The list of schools this has happened to is getting quite large.

That is why we must organize and be proactive in our support of the entire Program.  A completely self-funded program has little risk of being scrapped, and the support makes the entire operation more successful anyway.  The happiness and pride one receives for the support is just icing on the cake!


A friend from Podiatry School ran for Delaware after transferring from PSU.  I also did a little biomechanics research with him at U of D while in school, and have a soft spot for Newark.  The team will continue as a Club Team, for what little solace that gives the athletes now.

I can't end the post on a downer like this, so I include this video, which was featured on America's Funniest Videos.  No disrespect to U of D is intended, as I try to bring the mirth as much as possible.
