JACKSON, Miss. – The Millsaps men's and women's track and field programs return to action after their 2020 season was cut short due to COVID-19. The Majors will compete in six regular season meets and the SAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the end of April.
The squads are led by head coach
Andy Till. Entering his 12th season as Majors head coach, Till boasts a resume of coaching 48 individuals to all-conference honors and eight total all-conference relay teams.
Millsaps will return one all-conference performer from 2019 in
Storm Buescher. Buescher, a junior from San Antonio, Texas, picked up a win in the men's high jump with a school record height of 1.93 meters at the SAA conference championships. This was 0.5 meters higher than the second-place competitor.
Another outstanding performer returning for Millsaps is distance runner
Abby Tew. Tew, a senior from Brandon, Miss., holds two outdoor school records for the Majors. She owns the top marks in the 5000 meters (18:53.08) and the 10,000 meters (40:56.81).
