SIUC women’s track and field coach Don DeNoon feels the money is not really a discrepancy anymore.

It has been hard to do as much with the women’s program as compared to the men’s, to keep the level of competition high, the purchase of shoes, enough money to adequately recruit, DeNoon said.

But I can’t tell you how much progress I’ve seen in our department over the years in gender equity. I think we’re much more successful because of it.
