The University of Louisville’s track & field and cross country program is gearing up for an exciting season, as Director Joe Franklin and athletes Trey Allen and Kiyah Yeast addressed the media during the school’s annual Spring Sports Media Day. Franklin, who is in his first season with Louisville, expressed his optimism for the team’s prospects this year.
