@Run_LHS Sounds good

Manning ends his amazing throwing career 15th at the Olympic Trials. It’s been a great run. Thanks for all the memories you provided. It’s time to go to work in the clean energy industry.

You walked into the national meet and performed at your best.

Process over Results

Congrats “MP70”

[Mike Turk @CoachMTurk]

You set the standard and made and had a lasting impact on @IlliniTrackXC along the way.

Thanks for the ride!

[Mike Turk @CoachMTurk]

YOU set a goal with a detailed plan, committed to and stuck with the plan through a pandemic and a change in locations, training mostly by yourself while completing your masters degree.

[Mike Turk @CoachMTurk]

Amazing, historic year. B1G Champion, 2x All- American, crushed 2 school records.

But special shout-out and congrats @ManningPlater on surpassing the 70m mark!
