“Hannah (Moss) was and has been in a genuine thought of ours since her tragic passing just a few weeks ago,” Wollman said. “We are dedicating this season to her and we all knew that Hannah was present and with us today.”

“Our coaching staff sat down before the meet and projected that our best score possible would be 148 points,” Wollman continued. “Instead of that finishing at that number or lower, we scored 153.2 team points which surprised us all. We hit perfect in every event and our common goal of competing for Hannah brought the best out of each of our student-athletes.”

One final note. The team had t-shirts for the awards ceremony that read "When it hurts most, laugh - Hannah Moss" on the front and had a big MOSS on the back. Nice touch.

Check out this great picture they took during the trophy ceremony:



Congratulations again to the team for their inspired and inspiring performance this weekend.

Go Mustangs!

Congratulations to the team!!!! Awesome accomplishment winning all 3 championships this year.

No kidding. I thought they were expected to win the Xcountry part, but didn't have the sprinters or jumpers to compete for the spring track titles. Hell of a job this year, Mustangs.

Congratulations to the SMU athletics team for winning the AAC title.

And now the part that I don't want to say. The AAC athletics teams are weak.
It is not the strong track team that I want at SMU. I want a national powerhouse in men's and women's track and field.
