One of the many, many unique and cool things about having on-campus track practice is that we share our North Field space with the wildly successful softball team. Their Field of Champions is just north of the Track at Gartland Commons. When legendary coach Joe Ausanio is pitching batting practice to his outstanding young players, the right-handed hitters launch missile-like home runs over the left-field fence ... and onto our track! Well-meaning administrators (and others) expressed concern over this. Pffft. I think it's awesome! It hasn't caused an issue with our athletes and it's fun to watch these home runs soar toward the high jump mats. If I have time, I'll even collect the bright yellow softballs and retrieve them to the softball field, until my aching left shoulder allows. Maybe one day I'll bring my baseball mitt! Again, this is Highly Neat!
