Eyes on the prize: Golden Eagle track and field poised for OVC success and beyond

With fourth-year coach -- and former Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year recipient -- Wayne Angel at the helm, the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles are poised for success at the OVC championships. The Tech squad had phenomenal indoor and outdoor seasons in the 2017 campaign, tallying runner-up and third-place finishes at the OVC championships respectively. The year was also highlighted by sophomore all-American Na'Asha Robinson's NCAA appearance in Eugene, Ore. -- the first Golden Eagle appearance in Tech women's track and field history. This upcoming year, the Golden Eagles' success will rely on the leadership provided by experienced upperclassmen and highly-motivated youth. Each meet that they compete in will be essential in preparing them to contend at the OVC championships -- including the outdoor championships held in Cookeville in May -- and on the national level. After losing the OVC title by a mere 11 points a year ago, the Golden Eagles are hungry and have high expectations as Tech looks to make great strides and compete against some of the best programs in the OVC and the nation.
