Allice, a former Head Track & Field/Cross Country Coach with the Vikings, is a legendary and iconic figure in the sport of Track & Field who brings a wealth of knowledge to our men’s and women’s sprint teams. In his short time back with the program, Allice has already helped shape two CCCAA All-American Relay Teams for the women’s program, one in 2019 (400m relay) and one in 2022 (1600m relay).
