Chris, can we get a spotlight on each of our Olympic Sports teams? Something like an interview with the coach, a synopsis of the current team, strengths/weaknesses, what they need to be a top contender in the ACC, where they are now in achieving those goals, etc.
Spotlight on Olympic Teams
- Thread starter Nish67
- Start date
Not to be rude, but this was ALWAYS something that one would have to do one's self if they wanted to see it.
The sentiment is valid though, because there's no shortage of stuff to write about. I've been giving good thought to writing a bit myself this summer because of it:
Wrestling - Gavin & Rio 2016/Rizzo, Weircioch, and Zanetta's new roles/Wilps' outside chance at cracking the top 10 in career wins/Thomusseit's last run
Volleyball - Clesen being selected to the USA collegiate team/Zitke's outside chance of cracking the top 5 in career assists/Year 2 of Fisher after finishing in the top third of the ACC in Year 1
Baseball - Vazquez's potential return/Nick Goldsmith potentially playing baseball (1B) & football (P)/Signings of the three picks in the draft
Tennis - 2nd straight year of getting a 4 star recruit in Callie Frey
W Soccer - Seneca coming off injury/Fabean as an accomplished recruit coming in/Francis (former top 150 recruit) first year as full-time GK/McDonough as a captain
Softball - What was behind Thea's emergence?/Nirschl's pro chances/what needs to be done to get back above .500
T&F - Can Palmer &/or Thompson be the next great hurdlers out of Pitt?
... That leaves out Swim & Dive, Gymnastics, Cross Country, or Men's Soccer. And women's basketball (with their intriguing incoming recruits), which doesn't get enough ink either.
