WARREN, Mich. – Macomb Community College Athletics is pleased to announce the return of Open Track Nights to the Sports & Expo Center in January 2023! The announcement was made by head men's and women's cross country coach,
Matt Fecht, Tuesday (Dec. 6).
"We're excited to bring back the proud tradition of Macomb Open Track Nights," said Fecht, who just completed a successful first year at the helm of the Monarch cross country programs. "I have received a host of inquiries from coaches and student-athletes across the county and beyond and I am happy to finally make it official – Open Track is Back"!
Open Track will take place on Monday and Tuesday evenings January 9 - March 21 from 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Due to demand, limited space and to ensure a safe environment for all, sprints and distance will be split into different nights.
