New season, new student-athletes and new goals to achieve. Spring is a time for a fresh start and I look forward to seeing what these new things have to offer in 2019.

Please join me in the wonderful spring weather to cheer on the Blueboys and Lady Blues. This year we return a crew of dedicated student-athletes looking to put their mark on IC Athletics. This group of young men and women have been working hard to hone their craft and help IC Athletics soar up the rankings in the Midwest Conference. These strong men and women should make us all proud to be part of the Blueboy and Lady Blue family.
