The U.S. Track and Field team named its coaching staff July 6 for the World Championships in Berlin next month, and a Jayhawk made it onto the roster. Coach Stanley Redwine was named as men's distance coach for Team USA.
"Any time you get to represent your country in track and field is an honor," Redwine said.
Redwine will be working with athletes in events such as the 800 meter run, the 5000 meter run and the marathon. Redwine said he would know who would be competing in the distance events at the end of July.
Redwine competed as an athlete for Team USA in Berlin in various
distance events annually from 1983 to 1996.
"I took it as an honor whenever I was selected as an athlete," Redwine said.
USA Track and Field selected Harvey Glance, men's track and field coach at Alabama, as men's coach for the World Championships. The organization selected Chandra Cheeseborough, women's track and cross country coach at Tennessee State, as the head coach for the women's side of Team USA.
Cheeseborough
also had previous experience as an athlete competing in Berlin and said she remembered having Redwine as a teammate.
"Any time you get to represent your country in track and field is an honor."
"I remember him being a gentleman on and off the track," she said.
Redwine said USA Track and Field had a selection committee made up
of coaches and athletes that chose the staff to compete in the World Championships, the Pan American Games and the Olympics.

Redwine was selected as an assistant coach for Team USA for the Pan American games in 2003 and was named men's coach for the Pan
American games in 2007.
Redwine said that he hoped being an assistant for Team USA would bring notoriety to Kansas track and field, and that he wanted to represent Kansas along with Team USA.
He said he would like to wear Jayhawk gear
while in Berlin.
"USATF may have some things on what you can and can't wear," Redwine said, "but anything and everything I do, I always have Kansas at heart."
