West Virginians to attend Women’s March on Washington BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR

The West Virginia chapter of the Women’s March on Washington has organized 16 buses to take 1,000 West Virginians to Washington, D.C. one day after President-Elect Donald Trump takes office. The march, organized in the the wake of Trump’s election, aims to send a message to the new government on the first day in office—women’s rights are human rights. Hundreds of thousands of people are set to attend the march, which will take place near the U.S. Capitol. Kate Savidan, one of the organizers of the WV chapter, said in addition to the 1,000 people attending the march, she expects 500 more people from WV to go to D.C. by car or plane, exceeding the organizers’ 1,000 person goal. “We all have our differ-

ent reasons why we want to march, but it all ties very closely to the national reason,” Savidan said. Three of the 16 buses are leaving from Morgantown, and all three buses are sold out. Savidan said organizers from other states were surprised at the number of people representing West Virginia at the march. “I think we are viewed often as maybe a backward state,” Savidan said. “But the truth is there are a lot of progressive people that want to get involved, and that gives us the chance to mobilize.” The University’s Women’s and Gender Studies department has also organized for a bus to take more than twenty WVU students to the march. “We wanted to offer an inexpensive way to participate in a historic event of consciousness raising,” said Cari Carpenter, interim di-

rector of the department. Jada Gale, a senior religious studies student at WVU, heard about the march directly after the presidential election. “I thought ‘Finally!’ There is a huge reason for all people to band together and actively fight for wom-

en’s rights,” Gale said. “I think there have been a lot of people working on women’s and minority issues over the years, but there hasn’t been a recent event this huge and detrimental, that has sparked the fire inside of people to fight.” Sadivan said students

were an important part of the event. “I think the younger generation has a bad rap. People think they don’t care, or they’re complacent. I don’t think that’s true,” Savidan said. “When I hear that a lot of university or high school students are coming from West Virginia, I have so much hope for the future generation and for our world… It makes me really excited.” For those that cannot attend the march in D.C., there will be 616 sister marches across the country. More than 1 million marchers plan to attend sister marches. A sister march will be held in Charleston, WV. Marchers will gather at 1 p.m. at the state capitol to march. Savidan said that she expects around 200 people to attend. Event goers have been encouraged to make and wear pussy hats, bright pink

hand-knitted hats, as part of the Pussy Hat Project, an advocacy organization. On Jan. 10, the Morgantown chapter hosted an informational meeting at 123 Pleasant Street, where people could knit the hats. An employee from The Needlecraft Barn, a business in downtown Morgantown, said that people had asked for pink yarn to knit the hats. The Morgantown chapter of the WMW will be hosting an ACLU nonviolence training watch party, where people will be able to knit pussy hats, pack bagged lunches for the marchers and make signs for the march. Event-goers are encouraged to bring their own knitting and poster making supplies. The event will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18 in the WVU LGBTQ+ and Women’s Center, located in Hodges G-06.

City Council unanimously votes to repair damages at municipal airport BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD AND TAYLOR AMBROSE DA STAFF

During Morgantown City Council’s weekly meeting, councilors unanimously voted to repair the damages done to Morgantown Municipal Airport caused by plumbing problems. An old sewer system rup-

tured, causing flooding in the bathrooms of the airport. $25,000 will be spent to renovate the damages, with $5,000 specifically for the removal and replacement of the concrete. However, the council is unsure if the $5,000 will be enough to efficiently remodel. “Quite honestly, the $5,000 will basically re-

move all that concrete floor to get to the clay pipes,” said Glen Kelly, Morgantown city manager. “I hope they can fix it for $5,000, I hope.” The City of Morgantown owns the airport, and councilors hope the renovations will be on budget. Also at the week’s meeting, Mayor Marti Shamberger declared the month of February as Combat Hun-

ger Month in Monongalia County. In 2013, 15,380 people in Monongalia County had a scarce amount of food. Empty Bowls was presented a certificate of their service to the Monongalia community. “We support all of the food banks in Monongalia county, we support the Backpack program, we collect money and food all year

long to provide these services,” said Linda Perks, a volunteer at Empty Bowls. Empty Bowls is holding a Luncheon at the end of February at Mylan Park to raise money for the food banks in Morgantown. Bill Kawecki, deputy mayor, presented a civil honor to Shamberger for her support against LGBTQ discrimination.

“This certificate acknowledges Marti Shamberger is a recognized member of Mayors against LGBTQ discrimination, who believes that no one should face discrimination for who they are and who they love,” Kawecki said. The next city council will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7 in City Hall Chambers on Spruce Street.

Why West Virginia should follow China’s lead and depart from coal BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

China is the largest consumer of coal in the world. But this week the National Energy Administration of China announced plans to invest more than $360 billion in renewable energy sources through 2020. It’s turning its back on coal and creating jobs at the same time. Perhaps West Virginia should follow suit. The reality is that coal is a dying and finite resource. This is a fact whether you accept it or not, and West

Virginia would do well to be in front of coal on its way out. West Virginia’s tourism industry simply isn’t enough on its own, and cleaner alternatives along with inevitability continue to strain the coal industry. While our state might not be the best equipped to “keep the lights on” in ways beyond coal production, and certainly aren’t the most willing to do so, we could find our home in another market. In fact, it’s imperative that we do. This is something West Virginia’s new Governor

Jim Justice has called for throughout his campaign, asking West Virginian’s to find the next “niche crop.” But while it’s needed, fundamentally altering our state could be a long road, and innovation doesn’t just happen on demand. But time is on our side as long as we start working toward alternatives early enough. China has worked to cut its coal usage down for many years, and it certainly hasn’t come easily. It remains the world’s biggest polluter, using roughly half of the world’s

coal, and has repeatedly attempted to curtail its coal production and usage in favor of renewable sources of energy. This has created a transitional period where China is simultaneously the greatest producer of solar energy in the world, as well as the biggest polluter. During this process, the country has faced many situations where the only options were to relax its stated energy use policies, or pay significantly higher costs to get through the fuel-hungry winter season, when coal is most needed.

Despite the struggles, China’s coal usage reached what experts consider its final peak back in 2014 and has fallen since. While the data has been challenged in terms of real coal usage vs reported coal usage, this new investment could be the final step in turning the corner to progress. If this investment yields real change in China’s fuel economy, West Virginia needs to take note. Heading into 2017 our state faces severe budgetary issues while battling one of (if not the) worst opioid epidemics in the

country. And transitioning from coal is just as difficult for workers as it is for our state. The industry offers few transferable skills, a major problem in the face of such significant change. But this problem will not get better the longer we wait. The longer we rely on coal the more significantly we will be affected when it is no longer an option. So despite the hardships West Virginia would face weaning itself off of the coal industry, it’s an absolute necessity moving forward. The sooner the better.

In case you missed it: Governor Jim Justice’s inauguration BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

While the inauguration of Donald Trump is capturing most of our state’s attention, on Monday Jim Justice was sworn in as West Virginia’s 36th Governor. Justice’s speech had an immediate tone of hopefulness and he had some very promising things to say for West Virginia moving forward. He also had just as many “let me tell you this” moments, as you’ve come to expect from a Jim Justice speech. Justice opened on a grateful note saying, “I am humbled…I thank my family. I do truly believe you’ll have a better first lady than you’ll have a governor.”

Justice emphasized his simple interest in helping West Virginia and West Virginians of all types. “I want to be someone you can talk to, you can reason with, and move forward with.” Justice emphasized bipartisan relationships in order to help our state, saying, “There’s no point in dividing ourselves between republicans and democrats and independents. We are truly just West Virginians.” In one of many calls to action, Justice stated, “We’ve got do something, and we’re going to. My dad would say don’t confuse effort with accomplishment, we’ve got to accomplish… you realize we’re at the bad end of a lot of jokes and we’ve been that forevermore,

and I don’t like it. I don’t like the fact that we’re fiftieth in everything coming and going…I don’t like how good we are, and how troubled we are and how many people are hurting.” In relation to the budget situation, Justice said, “We cannot continue to kick the can down the road and drain more of the rainy day, because we’re not going to go anywhere.” Justice emphasized his open mind saying, “I’m open to every idea, and every new idea, and I’m staying absolutely (as) open as I can possibly be to try to progress and move those ideas forward. I will lead, the next four years are really going to be something special, (because) whether you like it or don’t like it Donald Trump is our president…I’m

friends with the Trump family, I know them, I know them well. And I truly believe he will provide us some opportunities in West Virginia as well… we have to have jobs, we have to have hope and we have to have opportunity.” While the speech kept a hopeful undertone, Justice didn’t shy away from the difficulties West Virginia faces. Justice stated, “We have a drug epidemic that is absolutely cannibalizing us, and whatever we have to do to stop it we have to do. If we don’t, we’re gone.” In regards to education, Justice stated, “Our teachers are underpaid. We’ve got to do something about it. You know we’ve got 600 classrooms in this state and we can’t even

field a teacher. We’ve got to get the bureaucrats out of the way… we’ve got to worry about our kids getting an A through F and not our schools getting an A through F.” In perhaps one of the most important moments of the speech, Justice revealed that he had a plan for education he would release, saying, “I’ve got an education plan today that I will submit immediately for people to review. It’s going to be the elimination of unneeded agencies, it’s going to be a look at education in a different way.” Justice hinted at a fuel tax plan, saying, “Coal and gas are the 800 pound gorillas in the room. I truly believe and I’m going to suggest that we tier the severance tax on coal

and gas both in this way: when the companies are really hurting I say we try to help. But on the other hand when the companies are really winning, we’ve got to get more too.” Justice hinted at a potential new industry for the state, saying, “I think there’s a real opportunity to bring furniture manufacturing back to our state.” Justice continued on economic answers for West Virginia, stating, “Tourism will explode, it’s right at our fingertips. All we have to do is market ourselves.” Whether or not you agree with Justice’s politics, one of his later remarks strikes home for all West Virginians, Justice said simply, “West Virginia cannot wait.”

National Reach Your Potential Month Elizabeth Frattarole

Anderson Small

Layne Vereni

While roaming the streets of New York City this summer, Elizabeth Frattarole knew she felt at home. She’s a strategic communications major with an emphasis in public relations from Hershey, Pennsylvania. She was given the opportunity to intern with MSLGROUP working on the consumer health care team for Procter & Gamble. She owes much of her success to her involvement in student organizations on campus. She’s currently the president of the Public Relations Student Society of America WVU chapter, the director of COB for Delta Gamma Fraternity and is also involved in Martin Hall Agency and Ad Club. These student organizations have helped her expand her professional network in the public relations and advertising fields along with meeting a lot more students her age who share the same career interests. After graduation she plans on joining PRSA and continuing to network with professionals in the industry. She hopes to move to New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago working at a public relations or advertising agency. Her advice to all students is to get involved, stay positive, set goals and work hard.

With over 100K followers, the internet sensation “neversayneveraj” has struck fame around campus. Anderson Small, AJ, is a broadcast journalism major with a minor in sports communication. He’s originally from Brooklyn, New York but currently resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia. AJ is a member of the WVU hiphop dance team and spends most of his free time dancing. This summer he plans to go to Dance Millennium studio in California. This would allow him the opportunity to dance with other great dancers. He has currently been reaching out to multiple celebrities and choreographers who have helped him realize his potential as a dancer. He hopes going to California over the summer will open many more doors and opportunities for him to join big dance movies or shows. With such a large presence on social media, he hopes to incorporate his dancing with broadcasting.

When Mr. Mountaineer, Layne Vereni, is not traveling the country following WVU sporting teams, he’s very serious about his schoolwork. Growing up he knew he wanted to get involved in some sort of healthcare in college, but he couldn’t figure out what stuck. It wasn’t until his junior year of high school when his great uncle asked him: “have you ever thought about dentistry?” He knew from that point forward that it was the career he would pursue. He’s now a senior honors biology major from Princeton, West Virginia. He has been named Mr. Mountaineer, given the Ultimate Mountaineer Fan award and is the founder, former president and current secretary of Students Optimistic for Curing Kids. For someone who grew up in southern West Virginia, he understands the impact of poor oral health within a community. He knows through this career he will be able to impact the lives of multiple people and to him that is not only a privilege but an honor.

Punk Preview BY JACKSON MONTGOMERY

U92 MEDIA DIRECTOR If you follow both music and politics, chances are sometime between now and last November you read or heard the phrase “at least punk is going to be good again.” Punk was never bad, you just weren’t listening to the right stuff. Regardless, the sense of despair felt by most broke musicians at the possibility of losing their health insurance means 2017 is shaping up for some gnarly headbangers. Here’s three singles you should check out now, and brace yourself for their related albums to kick your ass. Ignorecam by Pissed Jeans This is the second single from the Allentown, PA-based manbabies of hardcore to drop since November, leading up to the release of their fifth full-length “Why Love Now” at the end of next month. “Ignorecam” starts out, like many of my favorite PJ tracks, not with a long-drawn intro, but with a sucker punch in the face (see “I’m Sick,” “Male Gaze” or “Secret Admirer” for more examples). Vocalist Matt Korvette roars the opening lines as the rest of the band lay into one of the sludgiest riffs I’ve ever heard out of them. It seems they’re hell-bent on getting heavier with each release, moving from the scraping, angular guitars of their first album “Shallow” into a more bass-oriented tone. If the rest of “Why Love Now” is as hard-hitting as “Ignorecam” and the other single “The Bar is Low,” it should be one hell of an album for fighting off seasonal depression in February.

Blank Touch by PC Worship Written around a poem by frontman Justin Frye, this new track from Parquet Courts collaborators PC Worship eschews the slow builds of their previous work in favor of a more direct statement. Coming out of the gate with a brighter mix, glam-reminiscent vocals and prevalent guitar noodling, it seems the group has conjured up more of a pop-sensibility for this upcoming LP. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still plenty of discordant noise drifting about on the back end, but overall it feels a bit more polished than the trashstrewn trudge through New York landfills that was 2014’s “Social Rust” and their 2015 “Basement Hysteria” EP. “Blank Touch” is the first single from “Buried Wish,” set to drop Feb. 24. Get Hurt by AFI “Get Hurt” is now the seventh single available from the legendary death-punk group’s tenth release “The Blood Album,” set to drop infull this Friday. To be fair, the first three singles were only 45-second soundscapes, but everything else sounds REALLY solid. AFI’s last release, “Burials,” was rumored to harken back to their early punk sound, but it mucked around in a lot of the electronic and operatic elements that have thrown me off from them a bit since 2006’s “Decemberunderground.” “Get Hurt” is a straight-up rocker though, and considered with the other singles, “Aurelia,” “Snow Cats,” and “White Offerings” (my favorite of the bunch), “The Blood Album” is set to be their best work in a while. Nothing tops the “All Hallows EP” though; it’s still the first thing I listen to on Halloween each year.

From his office at WVU, Duncan Lorimer can control the Green Bank Telescope, the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope located in Pocahontas County, a rural area of southern West Virginia. Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner spoke with Lorimer about the importance of his role in the research done at the Green Bank Observatory. Q. For those who may have never heard of it, can you explain what the Green Bank Observatory is? A. The Observatory was established in the late 1950s, so it’s almost 60 years old. On the site, there are about eight or nine radio telescopes, which are like big versions of the dishes people have on their homes for satellite TV. The telescopes vary in size. The biggest one is the Green Bank Telescope, sometimes known as the “GBT.” It’s a 100

stations. So you want a rural area that is not necessarily high up, but far away from populated areas. That was the main reason for going there, in fact, it is in what is called the “National Radio Quiet Zone.” It’s a large, unique area of the U.S. that is federally protected where you cannot put a cell tower. The cell coverage goes out and there’s no FM radio in that central area.

Duncan Lorimer Professor Department of Physics and Astronomy meter diameter dish, about the size of two football fields. It is the most recent and was completed around the year 2000. Q. Why would they choose to put the telescopes in such a rural place? A. It was established to be far away from sources of radio interference, so we want to be far away from airport radar and radio

Q. What kind of work do you do with the telescope? A. I study pulsars, which are collapsed corpses of stars that have exploded. This happens in the galaxy about once every one hundred years, a massive star will run out of fuel and literally explode. Eventually, the core of the star collapses down to this very dense object that we call pulsar, or neutral star. They emit radio waves out of their magnetic field, on the magnetic axis. They look, to us, kind of like a cosmic lighthouse in these pulsars that we detect with the GBT and other telescopes. We study those, so we do all sorts of experiments with them. We try to figure out how many of these pulsars there are in the Milky Way, how long they live, how do they die and demographics. We also study the individual pulsars. They’re kind of like clocks in space and they tell us a lot about the environment we live in.

Q. Have you ever had kind of an “aha” moment in your research? A. Well I did with the undergraduate student when we discovered first of the Fast Radio Bursts. We kind of felt like we were onto something new but we knew even less than we do today. We still don’t really know what they are, we know they are really fast explosions of some nature, but we’re not really sure what they are. That was and still is pretty interesting time. I think that’s kind of what draws me to astronomy in general. The fact that you can be the first person on the planet to see something, like when you find a pulsar. I spend a lot of my time looking for new pulsars and it’s pretty fun to be the first person to see that signal from that object. Q. Can you explain what a Fast Radio Burst is? They were in the news, quite recently, actually. These are basically individual pulsars that arise from random times on the sky. The most recent results show that they come from well beyond the Milky Way, they’re billions of light years away. So they’re kind of a mystery. They’re ideal things to study with these large radio telescopes. So we discovered it with another telescope and we’ve been studying it ever since.

WVU set to host rebuilt Oklahoma BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL Last week, West Virginia played host to Baylor, a once-middling program experiencing a sudden upsurge that made it one of college basketball’s most serious national contenders. Tonight at 7 p.m. in the WVU Coliseum, the Mountaineers will face a team that is very much the opposite. The Oklahoma Sooners were the No. 3 team in the country when they stepped into the WVU Coliseum last season, a veteran-laden, offensively potent squad led by Wooden Award winner Buddy Hield. Now, Hield is chucking threes for the NBA’s New Orle-

ans Pelicans, and those seniors have given way to a group of young players who have mustered just a 7-9 record so far. “I was watching some of last year’s tape where four of the five (starters) had started 100-some games,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “That’s a lot, and those guys played heavy minutes. The guys off the bench didn’t play near as much, and it’s hard. You’re playing guys without experience.” The roles are flipped for West Virginia, as well. Last year at around this time, the Mountaineers were upsetting the apple cart in their run to the top of the Big 12 standings. This year, West Virginia was predicted to finish second in its conference, and hasn’t spent a day outside the national top 25. No longer the underdog, the

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU guard Jevon Carter looks to score a driving layup against Baylor’s Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. during the Mountaineer’s 89-68 victory in the Coliseum on Jan 10. 2017. Mountaineers are having to adjust—they are the hunted, not the hunter. “I think it’s a challenge,” Huggins said. “It’s kind of an honor

that you’re going to get everybody’s best shot.” Huggins is used to taking the hardest of shots from these Sooners. West Virginia and

Oklahoma faced off three times last season, and the matchup produced two of the most thrilling moments of the season: a last-second Khadeem Lattin tip-in that beat WVU in Norman, and the half-court shot in the Big 12 semifinals that was found to have left Buddy Hield’s hands a moment too late, giving the Mountaineers one of their biggest wins of the year. Three of the linchpins of that Oklahoma team—Hield, Jordan Cousins and Ryan Spangler— are gone, leaving senior guard Jordan Woodard as the last man standing. Woodard was moved back to the point guard position this season and has put up career-best numbers, averaging 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 40 percent on 3-point

attempts. “He’s a confident player,” said junior guard Jevon Carter. “He gets his shots and he hits them when they’re open. He’s somebody that we have to focus on and stop.” Woodard returned from a leg injury last Tuesday against Kansas, after the Sooners lost all four games the Arcadia, Oklahoma native sat out. And on Saturday, Woodard provided a game-high 27 points in Oklahoma’s first conference win of the year against Texas Tech—sophomore Rashard Odomes also added 24 in a vital 84-75 victory. “They’re really talented,” Huggins said. “I think they’ve done a great job of recruiting. They’ve just made some errors like young teams do in the wrong times.”

Familiar face: WVU makes great hire in Spavital BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL Coaching staffs are always changing each offseason, and the latest hire might just be the perfect fit for the West Virginia football program. Jake Spavital, 31, is coming back to Morgantown and rejoining head coach Dana Holgorsen’s crop of assistants. He won’t just be handling the quarterbacks this time; he will be the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Spavital has found suc-

cess throughout his early days coaching on the sidelines. For two years between 2011 and 2012, he helped groom Mountaineer great Geno Smith in an offense that set program records for single-season passing yards and points. Yet there were trials and tribulations during his young career, something many coaches and other professions experiences during their tenures. His third and final season at Texas A&M in 2015—seeing the two sides part ways—the school saw the transfer of two former highly-touted quarterbacks while turning the ball over more than

a team would like. Following the stint in Texas, Spavital reemerged and refound the success he experienced during a majority of his coaching days thus far. At Cal this past season, where he was taking on the same duties he will now at WVU, the Bears and quarterback Davis Webb made few mistakes and played the spread offense the way it’s supposed to be utilized. Despite finishing with a 5-7 record, Cal committed the fewest turnovers in the Pac-12 while also ranking No. 4 in passing offense, No. 10 in total offense and completing the most passes in

program history. Was this a byproduct of a better quarterback or perhaps playing in a conference not as predicated on defense like the SEC? Possibly, but the growth and improvements over one season are difficult to deny. These numbers likely helped Spavital become a name in the Cal coaching carousel after the firing of Sonny Dykes. He was named the interim head coach for a week before the school decided to hire the defensive-minded Justin Wilcox, an aspect the team was missing for years. However, the hiring of Spav-

ital does mean the shift of Joe Wickline, according to a report by Fox Sports. Wickline will instead be leading the offensive line and replacing the departed Ron Crook (Cincinnati), a position he has flourished at during previous career stops (Florida, Oklahoma State, etc.). But WVU is much different than Cal. The Mountaineers face different opponents, defenses and coaches. Holgorsen is a different individual and a different coach compared to Kevin Sumlin (Texas A&M) or Sonny Dykes (Cal). And Holgorsen knows if Spavital will become the play-

caller. Holgorsen was one of 37 head coaches that called plays last season according to coaching search.com, and it’s unknown whether he will relinquish those duties. The potential is there, regardless of whether Spavital is the immediate playcaller or not. He inherits an offensive roster that—despite losing its top two receivers and starting quarterbacks—returns an array of talent and Florida transfer Will Grier as the new quarterback. Only time will tell how the results pay off, but the future is bright for the newly hired Spavital and the West Virginia offense.

A look into the Women’s Track & Field 2017 season ABBIE BACKENSTOE SPORTS WRITER

TRACK AND FIELD WVU Women’s Track and Field started its indoor season with two home meets hosted at the Shell building at the WVU open this weekend. The team took three victories on Saturday, including two individual events and one relay event. As the team begins its season, it will begin to focus strongly on key runners, jumpers and vaulters. “I’m looking at some leadership in the pole vault in Madelin Gardener and Sara Finfrock after having a good year last year,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “We’ve got some up-andcoming kids also in the vault that we think can impress us.” Finfrock earned All-Big 12 honors last season, placing

eighth in the pole vault and marking a career-best at the Big 12 Championship. Gardener and Finfrock share the third best mark in WVU history at 3.91 meters during the 2016 Big 12 Championship. “Looking at the jumps, we’re looking at Shamoya McNeil, Faith Penny, Marseille McBeam and Meghan Jean-Baptiste,” Cleary said. Sophomore Faith Penny took West Virginia’s first win in the high jump at the WVU Open, marking 1.71 meters. Junior Meghan Jean-Baptiste placed second in the long jump with a mark of 4.87 meters. Jean-Baptiste also finished third in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.56 seconds. “Bria Welker is one of our leaders as well as Chaqieta Robinson,” Cleary said. Welker finished second in the women’s 60-meter dash, recording a season-best time

of 8.10 seconds. McNeil finished third and recorded a season best time of 8.11 seconds. Robinson took a second place finish in the 500 meter run with a time of 1:19.22. “Then it’s the stereotypical distance runners,” Cleary said. “We’ve got Jillian Forsey, Amy Cashin and Maggie Drazba will be leading our team.” Forsey, Cashin and Drazba all just came off of a successful cross country season and are expected to have another successful campaign with track and field. Candace Jones, Olivia Hill, Briana Kerekes and Brynn Harshbarger are also expected to step up and have an impact this season. “So that takes a look at the three aspects of our team,” Cleary said. “That’s a large number of girls, but we’re looking at some point for all of them to contribute.”
