Legendary Slippery Rock University track and field and cross country coach John Papa is closing his storied career and retiring from The Rock after serving the University for more than 35 years.
Papa is one of the most successful coaches in Slippery Rock history in any sport and will step down after devoting more than 40 total years of his life to the University, first as an All-American student-athlete and then as a coach.
To honor his legacy at The Rock, we're creating a new scholarship for TFXC student-athletes. One generous donor is matching $1 for $1 - up to $25,000.
