Hey there,
I'm a track athlete at the University of Vermont and our program is seeking donations to prepare for the upcoming indoor and outdoor seasons. We're one of the more under-funded varsity teams at the school. Remaining scholarships were cut by the athletic department my sophomore year. Another portion of our budget was trimmed down earlier this summer before I returned for a 5th year as a graduate student. Furthermore, our men's roster will also be limited this winter. So about 10 male athletes will be allowed to train but will NOT compete until the outdoor season to stay within budget restrictions and Title IX policies.
Given the circumstances/restrictions of COVID-19 indoor meets throughout New England are going to be a bit of a hassle. So we're also trying to find the best possible meets to attend in order to remain competitive within our conference. Donations will definitely help to cover travel expenses, afford necessary gear/equipment, and send more athletes to larger meets. You can't get better without competing, right?
Any amount helps! Even if you just share this link with folks you know in the track and field community would mean a lot to me.
Best regards,
C.J
