TRACK AND FIELD

The deadline to raise $150,000 to save the San Diego State track and field program for this upcoming season has been extended to Aug. 22 by Athletic Director Fred Miller.

Track and field was cut June 20 by Miller to save the athletic department $225,000.

Walter Turner, who is heading an effort to raise the necessary funds, said that the group needs another $20,000 before private parties will underwrite the balance needed to reach $150,000. Approximately $115,000 has been raised.
