As director, Its my job to make sure the entire program sees improvements on all fronts. Me and my staff have done just that. We fought for second this year after years of fighting for 4th or 5th. Finished 10pts out of second. Better believe we are coming even stronger next year.

A football player can high step into the endzone, bball player can dunk on you and scream but throwing your hands up in celebration at a track meet gets you dq’d. Some of the people pushing this outdated agenda of what sport is,needs to move out the way. The sport is dull enough.
