鈥淪ince my arrival at 91探花 almost a year ago, I have been extremely impressed by the effort and spirit of our student athletes, coaches and staff,鈥 said Chris Huggan, 91探花 Athletic Director. 鈥淭heir energy combined with the university鈥檚 commitment and support to athletics and recreation has positioned us extremely well for long-term growth and success.
