Recently, Coach Lutz sat down with national insider Jon Rothstein to talk about his transition and what his vision is for the future.

🔺 Pokes On The Run. While the year may be over, 2023-24 will go down as a historic one for the Runnin’ Pokes.

A national championship on the cross country course.
The best finish ever at NCAA Championships for women’s track.
And now….

OSU track and field capped off the year with both programs finishing in the top-five of the final USTFCCCA Final Program rankings. The Cowboys finished third in the country, while the Cowgirls posted their highest ever finish with a tie for fourth nationally.

🔺 Welcome Aboard Cowgirl. Not only has Coach Lutz been busy filling up his roster for the upcoming 2024-25 season, he’s rounding out his sidelines as well.

Recently, he named Alannah Yeats as the program’s new Director of Basketball Operations.

Yeats was a key member of Lutz's support staffs at both Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Western Kentucky and will again play an integral role in the day-to-day operations at OSU with a wide range of responsibilities tied to team travel, equipment, scheduling, and other logistics.
