CORRECTION

A story in the April 15 issue of The NCAA News erroneously stated that only one individual has won Division I Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships team titles as both an athlete and coach. Two coaches have won team titles both as athletes and coaches -- Jess Mortenson, a member of Southern California's 1930 championship team who also coached the Trojans to seven titles in the 1950s and 1960s, and Doug Brown, a member of Tennessee's 1974 championship team who coached the Volunteers to victory in 1991.
