LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With COVID-19 putting fall sports on the shelf this season, the Bellarmine Athletics Communication staff is using part of this time to shine the spotlight on some of the top student-athletes of the past 10 years by naming the Bellarmine All-Decade teams. The teams recognize student-athletes who competed for the Knights at least two seasons from the 2010-11 school year to the 2019-20 year. 
 
Today, we name the Bellarmine All-Decade Team for Men's Track & Field, which consists of 10 track athletes (four distance, three sprints, two middle distance and one hurdler) and nine field athletes (four pole vault, three jumps, one throws and one multis).
