In his 23 years at his alma mater, Burrell coached 11 Olympians and 15 NCAA champions and was named Conference Coach of the Year multiple times.
HOUSTON, Texas -- After 23 years of coaching at his alma mater, University of Houston track and field head coach Leroy Burrell announced on Thursday he would be leaving the program.
"I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be the coach, and I appreciate the tremendous commitment and effort to bring the University of Houston Track and Field program to the level of excellence it has reached," Burrell said. I am forever grateful to Chris Pezman, DeJuena Chizer, Lauren Dubois and the department staff, the Track and Field staff, especially Will Blackburn and Carl Lewis and Mike Pede, who literally held me up me when I couldn't stand. It was difficult for me to return, but with time and everyone's support, I was able to function well enough to return in a limited role. In reality, I returned, but I have not quite been the same leader that I was.
