Our annual staff Christmas Party officially ended the fall semester today at lunch. Exams are completed, students have returned home. It was a busy fall with highs and lows very typical for Erskine Athletics. But there is a common light at all our staff meetings and parties. We have a group of coaches and support staff that truly care about their student-athletes and want what is best for all of them. I say it often, but we have an amazing staff. They are focused and passionate about what they do. When an opportunity like today comes when we can fellowship together it is a blessing (even though Coach Vahjen thinks she gets made fun of too much!). I am grateful for our group and all each has done at Erskine in their time here. Most people would have no idea what it takes on a daily basis to coach at this level with the resources that we have. And while not all 252 student-athletes had the best of experiences this fall, most did and for that I say thanks to a great group of leaders.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Don’t forget the reason for the season. Keep running the race and fighting the good fight. See you back here in 2011.
