Statement from Senior Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Dr. Ed Scott:
"The University of Memphis has made a leadership change in its track and field and cross country programs, with head coach Kevin Robinson departing his position effective immediately. We are grateful to Kevin, a former Memphis student-athlete and M Club Hall of Famer, for his more than 20 years of service and commitment to the University and our student-athletes. Following a comprehensive review of the program, we have determined a new direction is needed to position our track and field and cross country programs for future success.
Assistant coach CJ Jones will serve as the interim head coach of both programs until a new head coach is hired. A national search for the next head track and field and cross country coach will begin immediately."
