The River States Conference track & field new rule for 2026 states that an athlete must have competed in an event during the season to be entered into that event at RSC Championships, with each school getting two at large spots per gender. With that in mind, Coach Kegg's duel goals are to get athletes qualifying marks in several events and improve marks in an athletes main events. Coach Kegg is looking forward to next week, where the OCU Track & Field teams will be competing in the Rose-Hulman Classic on January 31st.
