What does it mean to you to be a coach at K-State?
It is very rare in our sport for a coach to be at a university for 24 years. I feel very honored to have had the chance to coach at K-State. I have been very fortunate to work with a wonderful group of student-athletes during my time here.
How has your program benefited from the grass-roots support shown by K-State fans and members of the Ahearn Fund?
Our program, like every other program here at K-State, is largely funded by the generous support of our alumni. Without this support we could not operate at our current levels. We strive to provide our student-athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest levels and we need the support of each and every one of our donors in order to make this happen.
