🐾🐅 Melvin’s work never stops!
Yesterday, Melvin spotted some familiar faces at cross country practice and decided an official visit was in order. Needless to say, our runners were pretty happy to see their favorite four-legged friend! 🧡
Our cross country teams have been putting in the work all summer, and they’ve even been joined by a few Tiger alumni getting ready for their upcoming college seasons!
And because Tigers find a way to get the miles in no matter what… one of those alumni showed up ready to train while babysitting! So yes, yesterday’s practice included running, a stroller, a therapy dog, current Tigers, and former Tigers all getting their work in together.
It’s just cool to be a Tiger. 😎🐅
Around here, you can train for your college season, push a stroller, stop to pet Melvin, and still get your miles in.
Nothing can hold these Tigers back! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🐾🧡
