Fullerton Drops Golf for Track and Field

Cal State Fullerton will drop golf and reinstate men’s track and field as an intercollegiate sport for the 1988-89 school year, Athletic Director Ed Carroll said Thursday.

“With the upcoming sports complex only two years away, we felt it is very important to establish a men’s track program that will work in conjunction with our present women’s team and complement our cross-country program,” Carroll said.

Fullerton last competed in track and field in 1983.

Carroll named John Elders, a former Fullerton cross-country runner, as the coach for men’s and women’s track and field and both cross-country teams.

Fullerton has had a golf program for more than 10 years, but the program offered no scholarships.
