Athletics Giving Day

Cross Country and Track & Field athletes balance intense training with demanding academic schedules. Your support ensures they are equipped, fueled, and connected to a legacy of excellence, helping them perform at their best while honoring those who came before them.

Funding Priorities

  • Shoe Day ($8,000/year)
  • Supplemental Nutrition ($8,000)
  • Team Record Board ($5,000)

Why Donor Support Matters

  • Shoe day gives 1 pair of training shoes or spikes per athlete. This has become a meaningful team tradition and is one that reinforces equity and care for every athlete on the roster.
  • Supplemental nutrition for meets/off-campus practices helps ensure that all athletes (regardless of dietary needs) have adequate fuel in their systems before lifts, meets, long runs, or off-campus practices where access to nourishment is less predictable.
  • With records continuing to be broken, a team record board would allow athletes to see the legacy that alums have left, give them a time/distance to work towards, and honor anyone who earns their name on the board.
