I apologize for being away for so long. I decided that I want the focus of this blog and future website (shh) to be fully focused on collegiate track and field. With it currently being the cross country season I decided to not do any posts on a part of the sport I personally do not follow enough to even give an opinion on. I will not pretend to know something that I don't, like the major networks do when it comes to our sport it just isn't right.
The indoor season is fast approaching and I will soon be preparing indoor previews. I expect to provide to you 7 Indoor Previews. The previews will start at the end of the month and continue through December. I also hope to be able to acquire interviews of a few collegiate athletes. The first post will be on the SEC Conference including its two newest members Texas A&M and Missouri.

Kentucky's newest head coach Eldrick Floreal has added the final piece to the puzzle in regards to his staff. Roderick Dotts was selected to lead the sprints/hurdles portion of the program. Dotts was previously a volunteer coach at the University of Oregon, his alma mater; assisting now head coach Robert Johnson. The sprint program at the University Oregon has seen dramatic improvements over the past few years and Dotts should bring that same success to Kentucky.
This past summer Floreal shocked the track and field world by leaving his position at Stanford University where he had been extremely successful. He helped to develop Stanford into a national power and won multiple Pac-10 titles. His new position does not come with as much scrutiny but that should allow Floreal the time to develop Kentucky into a serious SEC contender. Floreal will need to learn to not only recruit like Florida, LSU and Texas A&M but he will have to develop his athletes at the same level as those programs.
