The Chuck Rohe Track Era Websites exist to preserve the legacy of and facilitate the communications among the athletes and friends of the University of Tennessee Track & Field and Cross Country programs for the years in which Chuck Rohe was head coach (Fall 1962---Spring 1972, including the athletes recruited by Rohe who were freshman in 1971-1972).
In 1962 the University of Tennessee hired a young track coach, Chuck Rohe. The next nine years, along with the Stan Huntsman era to follow, began the most successful era of SEC track & field and cross-country dominance in the school's history. This website is dedicated to Chuck by his UT athletes of that era, with appreciation for the life principles he instilled in us all.
