After a delayed flight north from Dallas, the #DoaneTF team is on the final leg of their journey back to Crete at a bit after 1 a.m. Sunday. It has been another memorable season with some truly spectacular accomplishments by our Tiger athletes, and I’ve again been privileged to be right smack in the middle of it all. Thanks to all of you out there who follow along, and we’ll see you for cross country season!

I don't want to let the weekend escape without saying a few words about this result… #DoaneTF's @z_fye2020 has staged a years-long struggle with every imaginable injury and bad fortune, but he stuck to his guns through it all and got the job done in Fremont in a most inspiring way that characterized the true spirit of the decathlon. Well done, Zach!
