Final comments:
Will leaves our program after five years with several school records (indoor
DMR, outdoor 4x800, outdoor 5,000, outdoor 10,000). More than that, he leaves a
“good guy” legacy that will be impossible to replace. Will achieved his
greatness over many years and over many injuries. Never, not once, did he let
the injuries – usually devastating stress fractures – deter him from his goal
of being the best distance runner he could be. And, just last week, in one
final act of selflessness, Will stepped up and stepped into an epic 3,200-meter
relay at MAACs. How many elite level 10,000-meter runners out there (Will owns
the only sub-30:00 in school history) will take a break from their event to
blast out a two-lap relay leg for their team? This past year has been bonus
time as Will returned for his fifth year. He was an integral part of the team,
and he extends his legacy to the current freshmen class. Fare well, Will, we
will miss you.
