St. Bonaventure Cross Country/Track Newsletter - March 2024

Dear St. Bonaventure Cross Country / Track Alumni,

We hope this newsletter finds you well and filled with pride as we share some incredible news from the world of indoor track and field. It's with immense joy and excitement that we report on the successful conclusion of our recent indoor track season, culminating in the A10 Championships held in Virginia Beach.

The journey through this season has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by dedication, perseverance, and unyielding team spirit. Each step along the way has brought us closer to our shared goal of excellence, and we are thrilled to announce that our efforts have been successful both athletically and academically.

Throughout the season and at the culmination of the A10 Championships, our athletes showcased their talents with determination, pushing themselves beyond limits with some remarkable races. We witnessed moments of sheer brilliance, as records were shattered (a 97-year-old record taken down by freshman Brendan Chapple was an incredible performance), several personal bests were surpassed, and our team emerged as an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with.

As coaches, we couldn't be prouder of the commitment displayed by every member of our indoor track team. But alongside that, the unwavering support and encouragement from supporters, such as yourself, have been instrumental in fueling our progress, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every one of you.

Together, we are achieving something truly remarkable, and it is with great honor that we celebrate this victory as a testament to the determined spirit of our team and the enduring legacy of our program.

Moving ahead, we are looking forward to going into the outdoor track season with refreshed senses, new goals, and curious excitement!

With heartfelt gratitude and immense pride,

A message from Bonnies junior Drew Carlson

Alumni, thank you so much for your support and contributions toward the program, we have had so much fun this year and it would not have been possible without help from you! As athletes, we have had jam-packed seasons - sometimes with multiple meets in one weekend - including several very cool overnight stays where we were able to ‘eat like kings’ according to Coach Mac! We extend our greatest gratitude to you all. Because of you, we are growing our program and experiencing things we never have before. Thank you and Roll Bona's!
