Join me and make a gift for Olivet's Day of Giving! We are raising funds for much needed equipment and for travel expenses to provided the student athletes with a better experience. This year we traveled to the Raleigh Relays and the UAB spring opener!

At 10:06am we had our first rail fail of the season! Within 30 seconds of that first failure, we had two more.
Rail monster is out to get people this morning!
Alarm went off at 5:00am (didn’t sleep all that great) and it is now 9:00am and I already ate the lunch I brought for later … not off to a great start today so we’ll need an afternoon (maybe late morning??) rally!!
Today at practice I learned that my women’s XC team has a fantasy football league. I’ve never been more vested in something that I am not a part of. This will not be the last you hear of the league!
I find it hilarious when I let an athlete borrow my watch and I have to tell them to not save any data. Don’t want them accidentally messing up my strava. I can’t have my watch thinking I am fast all of a sudden!!
Here is my running hot take: strava tax doesn’t bother me. I would be completely fine ending a run at 5.98 miles as opposed to doing laps out front to get to 6 total miles.
I know this will be unpopular, my team thinks I am a freak for this.

We’re going to see some changes to NCAA track and cross country programs very soon.
Today, Washington State announced it will be shifting to a “distance-focused approach” and “field events (e.g., jumps, throws) will no longer be supported, effective immediately, and the number of sprint and hurdle opportunities will be limited moving forward.”
Just the beginning, it is going to get worse!
WSU just cut all field events and is limiting sprints in track & field.
Around 24 athletes (men & women) are left without events.
Scholarships stay, but many may have to transfer.
Cougs are going distance only. #RestinPeace
I played pickleball for the first time today. Nothing like being embarrassed by a bunch of old people at a random YMCA. I swear I use to be athletic 😂😂😂
Day of giving for the cross country/track and field teams!!
The ONU day of giving is rapidly approaching, will you join us in helping to further our mission?

I love when I tell someone what I do for a living and they then proceed to ask of that is all I do.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I am going to start asking them what they think my job entails.
I need to start recruiting high jumpers from the hobby horse world apparently.
Hobby horsing is a sport and a hobby with gymnastic elements which uses hobby horses, also known as stick horses.
Movement sequences similar to those in show jumping are simulated in courses, without real horses

Super proud of this man! He loves his athletes and pushes them to become the best versions of themselves (on/off the track)!! Well deserved honor for Zee!! ONU is blessed to have him.
