JAMES COX | TRACK & FIELD
James Cox, a native of Cleveland, Miss., was a standout for the Statesmen track and field teams under coaches O.W. Reily and Reggie Barnes. During his four years at Delta State, Cox proved to be one of the fastest Statesmen to ever lace up the track shoes, holding the school record for the 100-yard dash in a time of 9.5 seconds and the 200-yard dash in a blistering 21.1 seconds. Cox built upon his legacy at DSU by going on to a highly successful career as a coach at Ruleville Central High School and Eastside High School.
