The Sam Houston State track program and head coach David Self announced Wednesday the signing of 13 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent.
“In my 10 years being here on signing day, this is my largest class that we've ever signed,” Self said. “Each one of them we see as someone who can come in and be a contributor right from the start. I attribute the success to the hard work of the coaching staff doing this early in the fall, laying the ground work in recruiting and having these kids ready to go.”
The 2014 class is comprised on the men's side of five distance runners and three multi-event athletes while the women add two distance, one middle distance and another multi-event athlete.
