UT Track & Field Welcomes 4 Mid-Year Enrollees
January 29, 2016 | Track & Field
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee track & field and cross country program welcomes four talented mid-year enrollees in Marcellus Fletcher, Desmond Maclin, Rebecka Miranda and Tamia Crockett.
"We are excited about these mid-years," Tennessee director of track & field and cross country Beth Alford-Sullivan said. "As we continue to grow this program, adding these four to our group from the fall puts us at 40 newcomers for the 2015-16 academic year. All of these student-athletes have the ability to have an impact within the program.
"We have not decided how much action they will see this year. We will see what kind of fitness they bring to determine whether they compete for us or not this indoor season. We are thrilled to have them, they bring a lot of skills into our program. They are great young people and great young students and it will be a nice way to round out our team."
Below is a breakdown of the newest additions to the Tennessee track & field and cross country program.
