Not sure how many of you follow track, but we have some great new additions this year from the football team. While we usually do have a few guys running sprints, I wanted to give a shout out to these guys for some exceptional performances in their first meet. Love to see these guys burning up the track ............they're really fast and should be fun to watch next fall on the gridiron as they get more playing time.

Orville Reynolds, Brandon Terry, and Sherman Ragland all have an outside shot at scoring at the ACC Indoor Meet in their respective events (60 meters, 200 meters, and 60 meter hurdles). I don't know whether those guys are making the trip to Boston this weekend or not.
John Millar and Scott Hall have both coached elite sprinters. John Millar was the speed development guy for all of Notre Dame sports and Scott Hall coached Michael Bingham, Kevin Marion, and Eric Seely to a 1,2,3 finish in the 200 meters for Wake at the 2006 Outdoor Track Championships (20.97,21.02, and 21.07).
I don't know what the rules are for spring football but these guys are getting good speed reps with the track team.
