TRACK & FIELD AND CROSS COUNTRY FALL 2016 NEWS
From the Association Larry Kreider ‘69 Kim Fulton ‘91 Co-Presidents Wow! The Cross Country Teams closed out the season on a high note. The women’s team won the HYP Championship and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. Senior James Randon won the Ivy League Championships and qualified as an individual for the NCAA meet in Terre Haute, Indiana. The women also traveled to NCAA’s for the first time since 2001. Surely the athletes were inspired to run fast by a visit from 2016 Olympic 800m finalist Kate Grace ‘11 in October. The work of our Association is crucial to the overall success of our program. This year our 2016-17 fundraising goal is to raise $90,000 to balance support from the University, all of which help our teams continue to compete. No gift is too small to help the program build on the momentum of this successful fall and to achieve its goals. Your donation helps the program by: •Supporting out of region team travel which fosters strong competition, the possibility of earning a national ranking, and allows the team to accumulate points toward NCAA qualification
•Facilitating recruiting to attract the best talent to Yale •Assisting in the purchase of small equipment such as poles for vaulting, shot puts, and starting blocks •Enhancing the new weight room in Coxe Cage.
