Foxes everywhere: Eli in San Diego

On Tuesday afternoon on the University of San Diego’s breathtaking campus, I was able to track down a very busy Eli Bisnett-Cobb, a 2004 alum of Marist and our track program. Eli was one of the greatest track and field athletes in school history as a hurdler and high jumper – he still owns the high jump record! He was also one of the first Athletic Training major graduates, and his career path since Marist has led him many places. His most recent stop is as the Director of Sports Medicine/Head Athletic Trainer at USD, a post he just accepted a few weeks ago. Understandably, he’s quite busy with the start of preseason sports, but he was able to squeeze out a little time with me. One funny moment was walking through his training room, wearing a Marist fox T-shirt, while several USD football players were receiving treatments. There was some grumbling from the big men – after all, they are Pioneer Football League rivals of our Red Foxes. Eli was quick to explain the connection and calm them down! Very proud of Eli as he starts a new chapter in his career. Neat.
