My office was filled with men’s cross country athletes this afternoon – a very pleasant and welcome surprise for June 8, when our students are usually scarce on our campus.
It was great to see the following men: Team captain Brian Townsend (in town for orientation leadership), Chris Reynolds and Kyle Havard (in town for the summer) and Kenny Walshak (in town because he was bored with doing nothing in lovely Long Island).
These BROs got a sneak preview of our new Nike uniforms (general consensus: SWEET) and our new Nike backpacks. No worries … despite numerous ovations for me to hand out the gear to them (especially from Reynolds), I did not.
The summer is a great time to take a break from the grind of the team, but I also do miss the daily interaction with student-athletes. This was a nice surprise.
Regarding the post title: Well OK. It’s not midsummer. It just feels like it.
NIKE BACKPACKS!??? SIGN ME UP!
ReplyDeletePhil: You will like them. Also, I would be remiss if I did not mention it was GREAT TO SEE Bushey and Pasquale, who are both up here for orientation as well.
ReplyDeleteCould you post pics of the new unis so this Nike loving alumnus can see?
