Comings and Going

Congratulation
to my friend and colleague Gary Winckler who is retiring as the Head Women’s
Track Coach at University of Illinois. Gary will continue to coach his post
collegiate athletes and devote more time to work designing and making western
saddles.

Congratulation
to Phil Lundin, another friend and great coach, who is leaving University of
Minnesota to take over the Head Track and Field Coaching job at St Olaf College.
He is returning to his roots at the Division III level. I know this is
something that Phil has contemplated for quite some time, I was glad that he
was able to do this. Minnesotas loss is St Olaf’s gain.

Dean Benton
is leaving the Leicester Tigers to return to the Brisbane Broncos in a new
position as Performance Director.

These guys
are three great people and professionals; I want to wish them all the best in
their new endeavors. I hope that each of you along the way in your careers have
the opportunity to associate with professionals like this.
