CHAMPAIGN – Wayne Angel resigned Thursday as head coach of the Illinois men's track and field team, citing a desire to spend more time with his wife and family.

Angel, a 1982 UI graduate and former Illini track athlete, was in his seventh year as head coach at his alma mater. His resignation was effective immediately. Mike Turk, a fifth-year Illini assistant who has coached the field events, was named interim head coach for the 2010 season.
