(right color, but without the Rockies in the background)
From the Beynon site:

This speaks to the very essence of our coaching philosophy; enthusiastically provide the very best situation for each and every one of our athletes to reach their goals and dreams in the sport. A Beynon track allows us to create an environment of success for all our athletes. Our new track is the center point of our program. It is the catalyst for all our programs goals. With this in mind – Beynon was the clear choice for our program.” – Dan Waters, Track and Field Coach, University of Alabama
Any and all offers of reports for all Bear Sports would be gratefully accepted. Adding to coverage has been a goal . |

College
Joe McDonald (’12), GWU Colonials ended with a school record number of victories 28-10 season and G Dub’s first post season banner– NIT CHAMPIONS.

McDonald joined Cavanaugh MOP), Larsen, Garino and on the all-tournament team.
Joe’s post tournament comment said it all:
“It’s [the GWU program definitely in the right direction and I think it will continue to grow. Tonight was a perfect ending to the season.”
Here are the career highlights for Joe’s 4 years at Foggy Bottom:
Started 35 games (’15-16), missing the UMass and Dayton games with an eye injury …
leads the team in assists (106) while ranking second in steals (41) and third in rebounding (5.4) …
has scored in double figures in 13 games and ranks fourth on the team in scoring (8.7) …
ranks 6th on GW’s career assists list with 443 and 6th in steals with 171
scored his 1,000th career point with his first field goal against VCU (2/6) ..
has four double-figure rebounding games (at USF, vs. Gardner-Webb, vs. Davidson, at St. Bonaventure) …
grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds at USF (11/19) …
scored a season-high 16 points in back-to-back games vs. Seton Hall (12/2) and Penn State (12/8) …
dished out a season-high seven assists vs. Saint Joseph’s (2/10) … scored all 14 of his points in the second half to lead GW to a comeback win over Duquesne (2/17) …
dished out five assists against no turnovers while adding nine points and two steals vs. George Mason (3/1) …
