For any that missed it Justin Walker finished 4th in the 100 and 3rd in the 200 at the national track championships this weekend. Pretty awesome job from him.
Also of note, due to those finishes Northwestern State finished 20th nationally, ahead of Florida State, Ole Miss, UCLA and some other name schools.
Having followed this team I think that Coach Mike has the program headed in the right direction. I think we are still about 2 or 3 years away from seriously contending for the conference title but the pieces are starting to come into place. We need a little more depth across the board and need to get some good mid and long distance guys in to get some quality points out of those events but there is a good core that has been built within the team the last few years.
Coach Johnson left some Godzilla sized shoes to fill but I think Coach Mike is doing a pretty awesome job of filling them. Really glad that Coach Mike got promoted to the Head Coach position as I've thought for a long time that he would make a great head coach and I am glad to be right on this one.
Really excited about next year and the future.
