Please save the RMU Men's Cross Country/Track and Field Program

Cutting sports hurts the school! Less GOOD publicity and less students going to the school.

I am a former Track Team Member, running and vaulting for RMU shaped my life. I would not be the person I am today without it, I would not have the friendships and relationships I have. I know many of my teammates would say the same thing! We need to save this program!

I pray that these kids can continue to do what they love to do, stuff that had been apart of their lives for ever, it's a way of life for them. Sucha shame, there's something wrong with this. I think this has a larger impact than initially thought.

USA track&field is the number one team in the world. We won't be if we keep eliminating men's programs to satisfy title 9 regulations

what a shame it is always the littlest people that get screwed. I understand that there has to be cuts especially here in PA since our lovely govern made some really bad choices , but it is always the people who have no say in it that it hurts. YES we voted them in but I feel the kids and the parents who are paying dearly should have a say in this also

Please reconsider they are one team & support each other. My 16 year old would love to follow in her brothers foot steps & pole vault for RMU but I would be afraid that will be cut as well too!

Please don't let a great program die!

This decision not only affects the men athletes who got their sport taken away, but also the women athletes that will continue competing for RMU. I am saying this because I am a RMU women’s xc/track athlete. When I heard the news, I was just as devastated as the men athletes. I am supposed to finish my collegiate running career without the company of half of my team who encourage me to get better each day? We practice together, compete together, and live together. WE ALL are part of ONE TEAM. We make each other better. Thinking about competing without them is hard to imagine because we have grown so close. They are my family. Part of the joy of being an athlete is being around your teammates. Our purpose as a team is to work together to succeed. The men’s team provides support, motivation, and encouragement to each member on the women’s team. For example, the men are there every workout and race cheering us on. Win or lose, we strive to succeed over and over again. Not everyone is lucky enough to be a collegiate athlete. I feel that other measures could have been taken to prevent this from happening.

When satellie campuses of Penn State are ADDING, what is going on with taking more away?

save RMU sports!

There is a minimal monetary commitment in keeping a track and cross country program going. Cutting a program like this negatively impacts more than just the athletes.

Don't cut the sports!

Some people spent the majority of their life's for this sport, to take it away from them should be a crime

WIshing much luck and long life to RMU Men's Cross Country/Track and Field Program!

these kids work so hard and now you are taking it away

You may only see us as a track team but were a family and I feel like my half family is being taken away from me and it's unfair to us but expsulaily to them.

Great group of young student athletes who always represent RMU very well.

Bring em back baby

I cannot believe this is even an issue!. It should not be an issue. Seriously RMU. Shame on YOU!
