I would be remiss to not include a short highlight of the upcoming track season. After returning home with our first-ever women's NCAA All-American (Morgan Moszee in the long jump) we look forward to continuing our building process for the immediate future.
The future looks bright as we come off a 2007 season that saw our men break 17 school records and the women break 10 records.
I am very excited about our newcomers to the Cardinals and Lady Cardinals squads. Without further adue here is the list of incoming men's and women's tracksters:

These are the incoming Cardinals and Lady Cardinals for the 2008 spring semester. We are adding women's indoor track in a test trial mode with the hope of adding the men's team to the indoor schedule in 2009. Follow UIW track through the fall semester as we tune up for another record setting season!
