thanks Sage, didn't know they were competing!

I am not sure who should be responsible for following our track and field alumni but it seems to me that some system should be worked out so that the local press and/or the ISU coaching staff is informed. Isn't Kylie a grad assistant this season? She is under the Nike umbrella. It is my understanding that Felisha has an agent but, as yet, no sponsor. This is not official information but only what I have heard.
