Middle-distance runner Kameron Jones’ contributions to Clemson’s track program might not be measured through his times as much as his actions in trying to keep the men’s team from being eliminated. The graduate transfer and his teammates were informed in November that a program sponsored more than 67 years ago would be shuttered after this season for financial reasons. Also being eliminated is the cross country team. This is yet another loss of a college sports program that helped fill the Olympic pipeline. At least 85 sports have been eliminated by schools since the coronavirus pandemic hit a year ago.
