Do you know why Blazevica, Geo-Holt and Kraule have yet to compete in the pentathlon?
That's a good question. And I don't know why. There's so much talent on the team and so much more coming next year. He really is doing Craig Tiley things.

When you beat 2nd place by over a foot...you're doing something special.
Ms. Thomas is very, very special. Ms. Morello is doing great, too, just overshadowed.
The good news is that I saw all three at the meet today and they looked healthy. Who knows.
Is drubberrific a word? Because this team is going to give some terrific drubbings this season.

And that 10,000 watt smile is a winner, too.
I also saw a bronze in Pole Vault made to look easy, so the ladies a impressing in the field events.
I'm not overly impressed at this moment. The team has underperformed based on the talent and potential. He has only 1 BIG10 championship(indoor ) in his 3rd year. They definitely need more quality runners and sprinters. The field events just isn't enough to consistently when championships. If you can't win the conference then you will never bring a trophy back from nationals.
Patience Grasshopper. The Big Ten title that the women won last year was the first since 1996. Since then, the conference has expanded, adding Oregon which is, far and away, the top women's program in the country. There is just no way that teams are going to compete with the Nike funding for that program. any time soon. That will continue to be a problem in the NIL era. Be that as it may, we finished second to them at the indoor conference meet this year, 30 points clear of Iowa. which was the nearest 'traditional' B10 team. The men's program isn't nearly as far along as the women's program is. Coach is recruiting well for that program now, though.
