From the Coach's Office

Welcome to the first Big Blue track and field newsletter of the 2007-2008 season.  I am very excited about our new additions to the Big Blue track and field family this season.  We have over 40 new student athletes who have joined the Big Blue track and field squads this season.  This new class brings in tremendous competitive experience as over half of them have competed at the state track and field meet.   As a coaching staff we are looking forward to working with these student athletes to help them reach their potential in the class room and on the track.
