The first recruiting class for Director of Track & Field Maurica Powell and Head Coach Andy Powell put a very strong foundation in place today as nine new Huskies joined the future of the Washington program on National Signing Day.

The Washington track and field coaching staff will be hosting an alumni social this Friday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and is looking to get to know as many former Huskies as they can.

A stellar group of six track and field athletes have arrived in Seattle over the past couple months to join the Husky program, bringing with them a wealth of championships and All-America honors, and seeking to add more at Washington.

Washington Director of Track & Field Maurica Powell and Head Coach Andy Powell today announced the new leadership for the Husky sprinters and hurdlers, as former U.S. 400-meter hurdles champion Jeshua Anderson has been named Assistant Coach and Anderson's longtime coach, Mark Macdonald, will stay on as a Volunteer Assistant.
