Track and Field to Host Jud Logan Memorial Tune Up on Saturday
2/18/2022 12:50:00 PM | Men's Track & Field, Women's Track & Field
The Kent State track and field program will honor the legacy of one of its most legendary alumni when it hosts the Jud Logan Memorial Tune Up on Saturday, Feb. 19. Competition will begin with the men's and women's high jump at 9:30 a.m. inside of the Kent State Field House.
Earlier this month, Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Bill Lawson announced that the final home meet of the season has been renamed for the four-time U.S. Olympian and 17-year head coach at Ashland University who passed away on Jan. 3 in perpetuity. A special presentation will take place prior to the start of the men's 5,000-meter run, which is scheduled for 12:15 p.m.
Additionally, the Jud Logan-Al Schoterman LIGHT GIVER Scholarship endowment has been established and will help provide financial aid to a student-athlete who competes in throwing events. The Golden Flashes Club will have a table setup at the meet for fans interested in learning more about how they can contribute to this endowment.
