Reflecting on the season’s strong start, head coach Tiffany Wright commented, “We have the largest team since the days of Steve Heck, and we’ve worked really hard to build the program up. Our girls team is very young, with over half being freshmen, while our boys team is strong, but we’re battling lots of injuries right now.”

The Greenwave teams’ early-season performances signal a promising outlook as the athletes look to build momentum throughout the 2026 track season.
