PULLMAN, Wash. – Effective immediately, the Washington State Cougars will drop field events in their track and field team.
The school announced today in a press release that they field events like jumps and throws are “no longer supported” and this is done to “give WSU Track & Field the best opportunity to remain competitive at the conference and national levels.”
This decision will leave 12 male and female Coug athletes out of opportunities to compete, but WSU did add that impacted student-athletes “will have their scholarships honored”.
Sprinters and hurdlers will not be cut, but their opportunities will be limited according to WSU.
