Saint Michael's College Adding Outdoor Track - FAQ

Saint Michael's College has announced the addition of men's and women's outdoor track, effective for the 2025-26 school year! Here are answers to some frequently-asked questions:
  • Who will coach the teams? Long-time cross country and Nordic skiing head coach Molly Peters.
  • Which track events will Saint Michael's sponsor? 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes; 100/110-, and 400-meter hurdles; 800-, 1,500-, 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs; 3,000-meter steeplechase; and 4x100-, 4x400-, and 4x800-meter relays.
  • Will there be a field component to the inaugural teams? As the programs get off the ground, student-athletes will only compete in track events, and not field events (high jump, triple jump, long jump, pole vault, shot put, hammer throw, discus, and javelin).
  • Will the track teams also compete during the indoor season? The teams will begin as outdoor programs and only compete there for the time being. They will likely participate in a few local indoor meets for training purposes only.
  • Where will the teams train? Saint Michael's will utilize local high school and college tracks for training.
