Introducing our newest staff member(s)

On Monday, our sprinters began their official fall practicing with some hills down at North Field. It also ushered in the beginning of our newest staff member, assistant coach Alex Cuesta. Let it be known that the previous sentence may be the last time I use Cuesta’s first name in a post. He is Cuesta. His mother calls him Cuesta; thus, he is Cuesta. Cuesta will be working with our sprinters; he worked with that group on a volunteer basis last spring with great success, and now we have him on as an official assistant coach. We are thrilled to have him on board with us.

Cuesta arrived a few minutes late, as he had to bring his loyal companion (pictured here) to get groomed. The cute little dog is named Sienna – yeah, I gave him grief that he would name a pet after a MAAC rival school, but at least he had the common sense to spell it differently. And yeah, Cuesta is one of THOSE GUYS – he arrived in his car with Sienna on his lap. You know. The drivers with their dogs on their laps. Sheesh. But! We will forgive Cuesta, because he was a loyal athlete for our program and he is now a loyal member of our staff. We welcome him (and Sienna) back to the journey.
