On that note, we wanted to thank our fellow sport performance members, specifically, our athletic trainers for their effort to mitigate the risk and keep us safe and healthy!
Special thanks to our fall volunteer coaches; Brandon Miller, Carly Boss, Nate Waikel, and Caleb Malone for all your help and open-mindedness to grow. Finally, good luck to our winter sport student-athletes who are in the midst of their seasons.
