Before her appointment, McField served as the interim head coach for the Kangaroos from January to March 2008. McField joined the athletics department in September 2007 as an academic advisor.

Entering her eighth season at the helm, McField looks to continue to build on her team’s success entering the second season in the WAC, with junior Courtney Frerichs leading the way as a two-time All-American (one track, one cross country).

With these performances, it was highest point total for both sides since 2001.

Team wise at the league championships, the men came in fourth (121 points), whereas the women took fifth (94 points), led by Frerichs’ two gold medals.

Frerichs continued her stellar sophomore campaign at the NCAA Championships by plac-ing sixth in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a school record time of 9:55.02. With this outing, she became the ‘Roos first All-American and garnered the ‘Roos three team points, placing them 44th in the standings.
