As the proud coach of Life University's Track & Field team, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some highlights from 2025. Across both squads, we had:

• Five individual Indoor National Champions

• Five individual and one relay Outdoor National Champions

• 19 individuals and five relays earned All-American honors

• The women’s team placed 2nd in the quest for the team title at NAIA Outdoor Nationals

• New NAIA records were set by a Life University athlete in five events

• 2025 NAIA Women’s Indoor Track & Field National Track Athlete of the Year

• 2025 NAIA Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Track Athlete of the Year

• 55 student-athletes named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll

• 19 student-athletes with 4.0 GPAs

As we strive to build on that success moving forward, I’m excited to kick off this year’s Dash for Dollars fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $12,000 to elevate our training programs and ensure every athlete has the tools they need to succeed.

Every day, our student-athletes show up with grit, heart, and relentless drive, but behind every stride, jump or throw is a need for support. Your support helps us:

- Upgrade training facilities and equipment

- Cover travel costs for our competitions

- Provide modalities for recovery to ensure every athlete is ready to perform at their best

- Support athletes facing financial barriers

This campaign is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement. A chance to rally around our athletes, celebrate their dedication, and invest in their future. Together, we can build a community where every runner feels seen, supported, and unstoppable.

💥 Every dollar propels a dream. Let’s make every step count!
