He now ranks No.4⃣ all-time and No.3⃣ among freshman all-time in program history!

Last weekend two of the major TV Networks (ABC/Disney and Fox Sports) refused to air @SavingCollSprts ad, that calls out the greed of the Conference Commissioners as being a major roadblock to solving the problems in College Sports. One of the networks told us it was a “business decision”.
This week they are allowing us to air the ad on the condition that we change the words “Conference Commissioners” to “Powerful Special Interests”. Done.
Now that nobody’s feelings are hurt, let’s go enjoy a great day of college football!
Here is the “new” ad, that will air today.
Please read and share my op-ed published this morning in @USATODAY. We need a thoughtful and comprehensive Congressional solution to address the overwhelming economic challenges and fundamental brokenness of the NCAA. These two issues seriously and immediately threaten women’s sports, Olympic sports, and all college athletic departments - both big and small. The SCORE Act, as currently drafted, doesn’t do enough, and will only serve to guarantee that programs are cut, opportunities are lost, and communities are irreparably damaged.

Soap box time.
If you coach the short hurdles and practice at regular spacing, you’re not doing it right!!!! Don’t take my word for it, listen to world record holder @amhurdlestar and hurdle guru @HURcoachdabb!! But what do we know.
We have a NEW SCHOOL RECORD‼️ The boys 4x100M Relay team of Harrison Dupnick, Josiah Jacob, Nolan Cook, and Avry Cordell broke a 24-year-old mark today at the Lake Houston Relays‼️
On November 7th, the new $3.9B TUF endowment will be on the ballot as Proposition 5. This is a generational opportunity for Texas Tech and for West Texas.

I was asked if this was sprints and hurdles specific. Most of the concepts we discuss definitely benefit the field events. However, I've decided to add a speaker to help out the throws coaches as well as those who cover all events in the fall
Let's welcome @ThrowSumthin
I am looking forward to another presentation with a high school that is taking their program to the next level with our signature sports nutrition 101!!
You better believe I will be addressing SLEEP as our first priority! Sleep is king and nutrition is queen! See you August 3rd @GBurgSwedes@SwedesAD
Gen Public/parents: Coach, you try to make EVERYONE a short sprinter
🤔
Actually, I try to address the short speed for all sprint/hurdle events. Most high school athletes get plenty of "strength/conditioning" and don't see nearly enough reps of TRUE speed. We talking under 90m
