The men attempt to win their 11th straight BSC indoor championship this weekend. Considering this is the 11th time the meet has been conducted, I'd say it's a pretty good run. (haha, I said "run")

By the way, that Josh McDougal guy has already won an event. Big shocker there.

Wow. Is UNCA bad in T&F or what? They placed behind the VMI WOMEN!
I believe Matt Parker scored more points in this meet than their men annd women combined.

This makes 37 Coach of the Year honors for Coach Tolsma spanning track and cross country. He quietly is showing himself to be the best LU coach ever

Does anyone know if other schools have one person heading up all 6 Men's and Women's track and CC teams like Tolsma does? I know he has some very good assistants to delegate workload to, but it's a pretty amazing feat if you ask me.

Doesn't this win make the LU Men's Track Team the most winningest team in Big South History???? I mean 11 straight big south titles is better than the women's hoops I believe. Doesn't that make the LU Track team the most sucessfull program in Liberty University?! This is in response to the tagline of the "women's hoops" on the Index page.

It is a tough call. But it is nice that we have two teams to choose from right now.
