Men's and Women's Track & Field and Cross Country

As the cross country season winds down and we enter the 2022-23 competitive season for indoor and outdoor track and field, we're entering an exciting new era for the USM men's and women's track programs. For the first time in program history, the men's and women's teams will be fully combined led by head coach Rob Whitten (Head Women's Coach since 2019) and the first ever full-time assistant coach Andrew Rose.

Both teams uniforms, warmup and team issued gear were previously purchased separately and are at different stages within their useful lifespans. It is our goal to focus our fundraising efforts to purchase new apparel to look and feel like one team while representing the University of Southern Maine at the highest of levels. We also need to raise funds for equipment and travel to get our national level contenders opportunities to compete against the best competition. Finally, we use fundraising efforts to send our coaching staff to coaching education opportunities to bring the newest and best ideas in training back to implement with our team.

Thank you for your help. Any donation of any size is appreciated to help us reach our goals of looking and feeling like ONE championship driven program!
