HPU All-Sports Awards Night

Last week, High Point celebrated the 2007-2008 Sports Seasons with its annual awards ceremony. Each year, the athletes get to vote on who they think is High Point's Sportsman/Sportswoman of the year. Congratulations to Sumiyya Hunter, who won this honor for the second year in a row. Sumiyya's peers think a lot of her and we do too! Sumiyya was also the female chosen to give the senior speech, and you can watch it below. The real Rudy was on campus to speak to our athletes, and he reminded us of the importance of dreaming. That's who we want to surround ourselves with: athletes who dream big!

The Steele Center by Monica

It's almost been a year since The Steele Athletic Center opened. If you haven't been inside, watch the mini-movie produced, directed, filmed, and inspired by our own freshman Monica Delizo.

This was the first year that the cross country and track teams had their own locker rooms, and the best part is that the Steele Center opens onto the track:)

Jason Jabaut Interview

One of the many things that's great about track & field is that at each meet we compete in, there are post-collegiate runners competing as well. Our athletes enjoy the opportunities to talk to, compete with, and run cool downs with these men and women who are competing for spots on our National teams. Listen to this interview with one such professional runner Jason Jabaut after his 1500 meter win at the Duke Invitational on April 4, 2008. Jason was a standout runner at Villanova. Hear his thoughts on his race that evening and his upcoming race schedule.
