SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA track & field teams have earned preseason rankings from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, with the men tabbed No. 39 and the women earning a No. 59 ranking.
UTSA will kick off its 2020 indoor season on Saturday in Houston at the FasTrak Invitational.
The Roadrunners are under the direction of 12th year director of track & field and cross country, Aaron Fox, a fixture with UTSA for two decades. A four-time All-America decathlete at Texas, he has led UTSA to 155 league titles and more than 30 All-America certificates. Fox is assisted by associate head coach Kareem Streete-Thompson (sprints/jumps/relays), recruiting coordinator Chris Adams (throws), David Hartman (cross country/distance), Michael McPherson (pole vault/multis/jumps) and Jackie Richards (400m/hurdles/relays).
UTSA is coming off a third-place finish from the men and a seventh-place showing from the women at the 2019 Conference USA Indoor Championships. Leading the way are junior Danielle Spence, the defending C-USA Indoor triple jump champion, and sophomore Gary Haasbroek, the league's reigning heptathlon titleholder and 2019 C-USA Indoor Freshman of the Meet. Spence and Haasbroek, the school record-holders in their respective events, both collected second-team All-America honors at last year's NCAA Indoor Championships.
