Our main focus will follow the student-athletes who show potential to be great for not just their athletic ability and accomplishments, but their mental fortitude and ability to balance being a student-athlete. Time will be spent following the new coaching staff, especially focusing on the new director of track and field and cross country “Charles Ryan”, as we follow his journey and new coaching philosophy.
