For the first time in more than 40 years, North Central's men's track and field program will be led by a new head coach. Al Carius, who guided the program since 1966, stepped down as head coach. Associate head coach Frank Gramarosso will assume the role. Carius will continue as head coach of the men's cross country program and will coach the distance runners during the track and field seasons. Last season, North Central became just the second NCAA Division III institution to capture the men's cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field national championships in the same year.
