NEW ERA OF FALCON TRACK & FIELD
The 2022 Falcons will be led by first-year head coach Andy Eggerth, who was hired in August of 2021 and brings 21 years of coaching experience to River Falls, including stops at a trio of Division I schools. Most recently, he served as the jumps and combined events coach at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley for two seasons. He helped guide UTRGV to a combined four third place finishes at Western Athletic Conference Championships, including the top three finishes in the women's long jump at the WAC Outdoor Championships in 2021.



LAST SEASON

• In 2021, the WIAC Indoor Championships were canceled due to COVID-19. 
• At the 2021 Outdoor Championships, hosted by UWRF, the men finished in eighth place while the women placed fifth. 
• The men return All-Conference sprinter Dylan Wachter while the women will be led by Lexi LeFever, who won the 2021 WIAC Outdoor long jump and went on to finish as the long jump runner up at the DIII Outdoor National Championships.
