Dante Lander, Austin Clay Talk Loss Of CMU Track And Field


Central Michigan University student-athletes, Dante Lander and Austin Clay joined the Ohio MileSplit podcast to share their thoughts on the news that the Chippewas will be eliminating the men's track and field program. 

Lander, a 2018 West Carrollton graduate, and Clay, a 2019 grad from Van Wert, were both taken by off-guard by the development, but they're now channeling their energy toward catching on with new college teams.
