We are excited to make our transition into the NCAA & into the NSIC Conference in this upcoming Track & Field season. We are young & still laying a foundation of culture & training.

From the moment Ashton arrived on campus he has done everything he can to become a better athlete. His positive attitude & energy, along with his high level of discipline & focus, has led to consistent improvement & development to a high level.

Our Team ended the year on a high note.

Alongside that core group, we have a talented group of young athletes who are eager to step up and make their mark. It’s an exciting mix of proven performers and emerging talent, and we’re looking forward to seeing how that depth and energy come together throughout the year

Our team has several new athletes who should be able to contribute immediately to helping the team be more competitive.
