WE ARE ON A PATH TO EXCELLENCE AND YOUR SUPPORT CAN GET US THERE! YOUR GIFT WILL HELP IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING:

Participating in more Tournaments and Invitationals - This would allow us to provide more competitive opportunities for our student-athletes to better prepare them to challenge for conference titles and NCAA berths (Individual and Team), but the costs associated with travel require additional financial support.

Student-Athlete Equipment (training clothing, training shoes, competition shoes) - Our training equipment goes through daily punishment so if we can invest more in this area it will enhance the student-athlete experience by keeping them healthy, allowing them to train to their peak performance and also create a stronger sense of connectivity between one another. 

Sports Science - We must provide alternative ways for athletes to supplement their training as well as provide a safer way to return from injury. We need to invest in recovery equipment, injury prevention technology, massage as well as better serve the nutritional needs of our Division I athletes. This is vital for us to not only sustain the competitive level we are at now, but also enhance it. All of our competitors have invested in these areas so it becomes a major part of the recruiting process when recruits are comparing programs.

Recruiting Operation - We need to increase the geographical area we cover to attract quality student-athletes. We also need to get more elite level runners on campus for official visits. The more resources we have to recruit the better we will be.
