Speed City to rise again?

San Jose State University was once known as Speed City what with John Carlos, Tommie Smith, Lee Evans, Ray Norton, Bob Poynter, Ronnie Ray Smith and others dominating the track. The late Bud Winter was the much-heralded track and field coach and he had many others coming to Washington Square to learn his training techniques. All this success put San Jose on the map.

So when mention was made by AD Bleymaier during the September 9 San Jose State University President's Cup Golf Tournament that men's track would eventually be returning to the land of Sparta, well, that was news.

Good news.

No, make that great news.

We can't wait.
