What They Are Saying
Wingate graduate student-athlete Tucker Mullis
 
"I am super excited for this upcoming season…this weekend at VMI was a great start. Today's effort was not the mark we wanted in the shot put, but it is the biggest opening mark I've had. The technique is there and I'm stronger than ever, so I am really looking forward to some big throws this indoor season. I am excited for a great week of practice and getting back in the ring next weekend at JDL."

"I know I speak for the whole throws squad when I say we have all worked so hard during the off-season in preparation for a big year. We are all stronger, have made great technical changes and are just waiting for big throws to come."
 
"Most of all, I am thankful for another year of throwing. As always, all glory to God."
