Ryan has had fantastic cross country and indoor track seasons so far this year and will look to continue that momentum into outdoor track. Ryan works incredibly hard and is a fierce competitor. He's deserving of the success he's experienced and I look forward to seeing what more he can accomplish this spring.

Tyler has been the rock of our track and field team for the last four years. He is almost always in contention for an NSIC Title and very commonly maintains a high position on the D2 Nationals list. Tyler has stayed relevant in the conference by bringing intensity and intentionality to practice on a daily basis. He is coming off of two NSIC Indoor First Place performances- winning the shot put and weight throw as well as making Nationals appearances in both events.

Our men's team has a good mixture of experience and youth. We have a strong group of seniors but also a group of underclassmen who are eager to contribute and step into larger roles.

Max is hoping for more as his senior season progresses.

Deekon returns after redshirting last season. During that time he has focused on refining his technique in the discus. As he enters his junior outdoor campaign he hope to make the NCAA list and knock off a 53 year old SMSU discus record.

Emmanuel had a spectacular indoor season for his first year at WSC. He has only been with us a very short time and he has left his mark on our record books and helped us to elevate our sprint crew.

Daylin has emerged into a solid thrower, who competes well when the stakes are the highest. He has made steady progress again this year during the indoor season and became the school record holder in the men's shot put. He was NSIC All-Conference in the discus last year, and I think will continue to make progress as a proud WSC thrower!
