Coach Edgar on this year’s team:
"Last year was a learning experience for everyone. I feel our team really came together and started working as a group, instead of a bunch of individuals. We had an amazing season last year, but now it is time to take the next step. We want to improve on our women’s top 6 finish and want to be able to contend for the National Championship. Our Men are so close to winning conference and we have a great group of incoming recruits to help us reach that goal. We are still a very young team and will rely heavily on our seniors; Zac Chapman, Matt Kimbrell, Tiffany Aikin, Veronica Jersey, and Domi Elizondo. We will need to have great leadership from this group if we are going to reach our goals. We have an amazing staff in place, return all 26 of our All Americans from last season, and the best incoming class of athletes the program has seen to date. We have a lot of potential as a group and have a great chance to set the foundation for a long run as a dominant program.”
