Everyone is excited to get the indoor season going -- our women have been working extremely hard with coach Russell and coach Dunbar while I have been with the cross country teams-- it's always exciting to start a new season and get a feel for what we have as a team.
It's early to "name names", but we have an NCAA national qualifier back in Katy Scott and she looks better than ever in training.Â
We signed some quality athletes have a number of athletes back who placed in conference last year, so we're very optimistic as coaches.
- Head Coach Bob DeVries
Among the top returnees are Scott as well as
Lucia Harrison,
Beatrice Armijo,
Alissa Martinez,
Chisom Obioha and
Selisa Palmer -- who each earned All RMAC status a year ago.
Newcomers Patreece Clarke (hurdles), Ashley Barrett (sprints), Nadine Rose (400/800) and Ahshareah Enoe (HJ) each bring marks that could get them in the podium at the RMAC Championships in February.
Western State is a great place to start the season, it's a top facility with a very quick track and good throws and jumps areas. The Cowgirls can't wait to get up there and begin competing.
The Cowgirls compete this Friday and Saturday in Gunnison, CO.
