Air Force Academy Legend Ralph Lindeman Passes Away

Longtime Air Force Academy men's and women's track and field coach Ralph Lindeman passed away earlier today, announced Director of Athletics Nathan Pine. Lindeman was in his 33rd season at the helm of the Air Force track and field team. From the very first day he stepped onto the track at the Academy in 1989, the Falcons have benefited from his leadership and love of coaching to become one of the most recognized intercollegiate programs in the Air Force Academy athletic department.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Coach Lindeman's passing," Pine said. "Our Academy has lost a legend of a man on and off the track and a great mentor to thousands of Falcons. On behalf of the entire Academy community, I offer our deepest condolences to Coach Lindeman's family, all our current and former cadet-athletes, coaches and staff."

The Academy will share more news as details become available.
