What They Are Saying
Wingate director of cross country, track and field and triathlon Matt van Lierop
 
"We opened our spring semester by dusting off those winter break cobwebs, competing in a rust buster at the JDL Fast Track. We had pleasant surprises in all event groups for both genders, in what we'll refer to as phase one of the indoor season. The Wingate T&F coaching staff is looking forward to what's in store for phase two, next weekend at VMI. This is only the beginning of what's going to be an unprecedented Bulldog season."
