Showing up to a Marquette track and field or cross country meet, the attention will almost always be given to the athletes. However, there is a group of students that serve the role of unsung heroes behind the scenes that play into the success of the program: the student managers.
“The relationships that they tend to build with the team is truly special,” head track and field coach Bert Rogers said.
In total, there are four managers who each have to list of set tasks to complete on an everyday basis. Such tasks include washing clothes, driving athletes to practices, and recording film at the meets.
