@CitiusMag@ChrisChavez This is so sad to hear. The Track World has just lost a legend. I pray healing for his family and friends as they go through this moment.
I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression.
But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become.
Why Not You!
@hu_pow@TrackGazette Sedjati's gonna have to sit this one out. Cooper is young, capable and unafraid. Miller is fast and super strong right now. Coop and BMiller 1-2 going away.
BREAKING NEWS: The NCAA Division I cabinet has unanimously voted to approve its age-based eligibility model. This will grant athletes five years of eligibility over five seasons, notably eliminating redshirts and waivers.
The eligibility clock starts after the athlete's high school graduation or 19th birthday, whichever comes first. Limited exceptions will be granted for factors such as religious missions, military service, and maternity leave.
