I saw this story a couple of days ago and meant to post it, but got busy and simply forgot it. I am trying to catch up now.

The Oklahoma Sooners announced a new coach for the Men's and Women's Track & Field and Cross Country teams on Wednesday of this week. The new coach is James Thomas. He comes from Georgia where he was an assistant coach for the Bulldogs.

Here is the announcement story for new Coach Thomas.

When you are running personal bests times, the effort is certainly being expended by the Sooners.
