Assistant Track Mentor to Top Spot at Oregon State
KU's assistant track coach Robert Timmons has announced that he is leaving his position at KU to become head track coach at Oregon State University.
Timmons said his appointment to Oregon State will become effective on April 19, immediately following the Kansas Relays weekend.

Easton concluded, "He is a very capable coach. We extend to him our congratulations and best wishes from all the Jayhawks."
"I feel this position is just a stepping stone to finer jobs. Most of our assistant coaches here move on to better positions but he is just a little ahead of schedule. They usually stay here two years." Easton continued.
