Clemson assistant men's track coach Jarrett Foster died Saturday after suffering head injuries in a jet skiing accident on Lake Keowee near Seneca, SC. Foster, 32, had just completed his seventh year as the field events assistant coach under Bob Pollock.
"Jarrett Foster was one of the top young assistant coaches in the country," said Pollock. "He did every phase of his job well. He had such a positive effect on our student-athletes, and we will all miss him. You could see that positive effect in the results on the track and in the classroom. We just completed our best season ever in the field events, the area he coached.
"This is a deep loss for our program, our athletic department, our community and to me personally. What a great person, an outstanding representative of this University in everything he did. Our prayers are with his entire family, especially his parents."
