Not getting the media's respect

This weekend the men’s and women’s teams will be traveling to UW-Platteville to compete in the conference championships. We will be facing a lot of great competition, due to the fact that the winner of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship is usually a contender for the national title. We have one of, if not the strongest, conference in Division III track and field. Everyone will have to step up their game and compete to his or her highest level of performance if they expect to do well. With that said, the men’s side needs to continue to focus on the objective, and not slack even though practice this week is relatively relaxed.

There has been some sense of neglect felt by many members of the men’s team in regard to the lack of exposure we have received. While all sports are important at the university, we feel that with the accolades the team has received throughout the season, and including last year’s two national titles, we should be made more of a priority when it comes to positive press. While we continue to excel through the season, we are trumped with stories of teams losing on our own Web site. Shoot, we don't even get any stories on the Web site. We really would just like to get the respect that we feel we have earned. 

BTZ WHAT IT DO!
