From the Staff
"I couldn't be more proud of Andrew, it's been an amazing journey coaching him in the weight. From throwing 12m in his first meet as a freshman, to throwing 22m this year, breaking the school record and making the national meet. Now, it's time to shift focus to the outdoor season." - associate head coach Collin Post
