Following in the footsteps of April Phillips, XU junior Sabrina Johnson took her talent to the track and field teams this weekend.
Congrats! Hoping you can take April's place in more ways than one!!!!

None of those times or distances would even be enough to win a high school state championship in Ohio. I think Xavier Track and Field could use a shot of adrenaline or something ...

Well, they didn't compete everyone because A10 is this weekend and some people rested.

And we do have the most poorly funded track and cross country program in the A10...

And we're OK with that.

Bear in mind that track and field only became a varsity sport within the past decade; they had it I think on a club level when I was a student there. It will take time to a) build some facilities (if that's even a priority for the athletic department) and b) add scholarships to put it near the top of the A-10.

When the sport reached varsity status, most of the runners were people from the XC team that did all the mid-range and long-distance events.
