Quote: "Run every race, throw every weight, take every jump, and play every game like it's your last. Nothing is guaranteed and "there's always next time" isn't always true. Our old assistant coach Ryan Perricozzi used to say "if not now, when?" and that's been playing in my head ever since the season got canceled. Remember to appreciate the time you're given while you're in it and never leave anything out there."
When Fredonia State's spring sports seasons were cut short, so too were the Senior Day celebrations in all spring sports. As a small token of our appreciation, we will honor each of the seniors in baseball, softball, women's lacrosse, and men's outdoor track and field over the next few weeks. Please join us in thanking them for their hard work and dedication to Blue Devil athletics on this webpage and via social media (#SeniorSalute).
