Coach Ward has recruited new members to both the men's and women's team and has assembled an outstanding group of sprinters and field athletes that he says should compete at a high level. Both teams have been preparing for the spring and learning how to balance school work and training, but Coach Ward has high hopes.
"I am extremely excited to see what this group can accomplish with hard work and by the time we arrive at the conference meet in April. We are young, but very deep. Something that winning on the conference level requires."
