The newcomers and the veterans
- The Terps return several stellar student-athletes from last year's team, including senior Jeff Kline. Kline, a Blandon, PA native, not only competed at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships last season, but also competed at USATF Indoor Championships last February, going up against some of the best shot-putters in the country.
- Sophomores Tolu Akinduro and Rhys Allen are also back for their second season as Terps following a summer in which they both competed in domestic championships. Akinduro competed for Canada at the U20 Pan-American games in the triple jump, while Allen competed for Great Britain at the U20 European Championships in the discus.
- The Terps also welcome a strong freshman class, highlighted by high-jumper Jennessa Wolfe. The Nova Scotia native competed alongside Akinduro at the U20 Pan-American games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, where she won the gold medal in the women's high jump with a jump that cleared 1.71m, which also would have placed her in the top-10 of last year's Big Ten Outdoor Championships.
