If UL drops cross country then the athletic program will fall below the title 9 standard.

Stamina

Do the Football and Cross Country teams have the same stamina trainer?

I know, I know.

[that guy]

if things haven't changed in the last few years they actually don't have any of the same strength and conditioning coaches. I know a couple of years back the track team decided they didnt want to work with the S&C program and just have their own coaches do all the work...even set up there own mini gym in their field house...

If that is the case, how in the world will UL be able to trim any costs in athletics when we're hit with a 20-25% cut in state funding?

You would be wrong, the entire track and field program both men's and women's to include cross country was alotted 30 minutes with the S & C program and weight room. 30 fricken minutes, to work out 60+ athletes give me a fricken break. Contrary to what most people think, track and field is extremely demanding on the body and proper strength and conditioning is a must. The former S&C coaches gave them the shaft.

Are you actually serious?

How about everyone who views this fricken site that complains everyday how we suck and how we need this and that pony up some money for the program. If your donating already, give more. If you are not giving any cash shut up.

300 athletes, 3 people on strength & conditioning staff. I don't think they got the shaft, they got what this university has committed to pay for in its program.

Never knew there was such a program here. Lol

With all due respect to our cross country student atheletes I am glad that we are't using what little resources we have on sports that only a handful of people really care about.

No one cares about cross country except for people who run cross counrty. And all us fat people hate you cross country guys anyway because you make us look bad. But that's another story.
