Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the WSC Athletic Department and Cross Country teams, I would like to thank everyone that helped make the 2014 NSIC Cross Country Championships a great event for all of the 200-plus student-athletes from the 15 NSIC schools that were represented here this past Saturday.

To put on a first class event it takes a lot f people to bring everything together and to run smoothly.

Those who I would like to thank are: Kim Schramm and his grounds staff; Jeff Meyer and his Sports Management classes and Sports Club; Muffin Morris and the WSC Athletic Trainers; Dr. Mark McCorkindale; Kevin Maly, John Sinninger and the Chartwells staff; Chad Smith and NATS, and Tom Schmitz and Maureen Carrigg for making the first webcast of the NSIC XC Championships a reality; the WSC Track & Field team for being great course monitors; Jeff Zeiss; and last but not least, Mike Barry and Mike Powicki, who helped with support and organization of this event.

We get the chance to do it even bigger and better in two weeks (Nov. 22) when we will have over 400 athletes from 30 schools here for the Central Region Cross Country Championships.

Thank you everyone.

Marlon Brink, Meet Director/Head Cross Country Coach Wayne State College
