COLUMBIA, S.C. – Six current University of South Carolina track and field student-athletes and four Gamecock legends will compete in their countries’ national championships this week, starting on July 25 with the USATF Outdoor Championships.

2019 USATF OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

Seven total Gamecocks will be represented at the USATF Outdoor Championships taking place at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.
