Maryland athletics budget cuts put Olympic track coach Andrew Valmon in awkward position

By Amy Shipley, Published: November 24

Next July 1 will be one of the most thrilling days of Maryland track and field coach Andrew Valmon’s life.
It could also be one of the worst.
 It will be the final day of the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Ore., when Valmon will learn the composition of the U.S. Olympic men’s squad that he will coach at the Summer Games in London.
That’s also the day Valmon is expected to lose his collegiate men’s team.
Without a fundraising miracle, Maryland’s once-storied men’s track and field program will be history after June 30, a victim of spending cuts announced Monday that are scheduled to eliminate eight teams.
