Middle-distance runner Kameron Jonesâ lasting mark on the Clemson track and field program may not have anything to do with the times he turns in or the medals he brings home.
It will be a win, for sure â just not on the track but through lobbying efforts or, possibly, should it come to that, the legal system.
Jones has a gold-medal mindset when it comes to saving the menâs track and field program â along with cross country â from being cut by the school for budgetary reasons.
The graduate transfer and his teammates were informed in November that a program sponsored more than 67 years ago â and has produced 22 Olympians and 16 NCAA individual champions â would be shuttered after this spring season. Theyâve lobbied, petitioned, marched and hired outside counsel in an effort to be heard.
