KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cale McDaniel announced the Owls' 2023 signing class on Thursday.
KSU welcomes 31 women and 14 men to campus on August 14. The class is highlighted by multiple state champions, a U20 National Champion and an Adidas Indoor National Champion. The class features athletes from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Nebraska, New Zealand, New Jersey, Massachusetts and North Carolina.
"I am both excited and incredibly eager to bring in this new class of Owls," said McDaniel. "Our staff has worked hard to make sure we have a strong program with plenty of depth and talent moving forward. 45 new Owls will join our Track and Cross County programs with the chance to continue on the unprecedented success this program has seen in recent years. I genuinely believe that this is a class we will look back on as vital in our program's history as we into a new conference next year. We can't wait to get started!"
