UNC alum returns to coach trackHarlis Meaders, a former record-setting Tar Heel student-athlete, is the new head coach of the UNC track-and-field and cross-country programs.
Meaders just completed his 18th year at Florida State, where he was an associate head coach.
Meaders was a captain of the 1992 UNC team that won the Atlantic Coast Conference outdoor title, and he is only the sixth head track and field coach at Carolina in the last 60 years. He succeeds Dennis Craddock, who led the Tar Heel program from 1985-2012 and won 45 ACC cross country and track titles — more than any coach in any sport in the conference’s history.
