![]() Message from the Athletic Director The theme of the Athletic Department this year is Grit. This attribute was chosen because it is such a useful tool to have in one's pocket as the challenges of life continually dish out adversity. Athletes are in a position to be tested every day they step onto the field, the floor, or the mat. Rarely are we in positions in sport where everything is going smoothly and moving along without a hitch. Instead, a more realistic picture is that of a student-athlete who has to constantly start again, adjusting or adapting to obstacles that prevent them from competing in an ideal environment. So it seems appropriate that instead of running from difficult situations, we learn how to harness our grit and face it head on.
-Athletic Director, Jana Fraser
