According to Schumacher, Curtis has been among the NCAA’s top coaches for the previous ten years. “I’m overjoyed that he will continue working with our student-athletes to achieve the amazing achievements that his work with the sprint, hurdles, and relay group at Oregon has created. I have no doubt that Curtis will remain a superb leader for our program, and I am looking forward to working with him to maintain our progress.”
