Concordia University Texas

  We are thinking about adding this feature this year during the track season. It is based off of what flotrack does with their Workout Wednesday. The idea is to go cover a HS or College athetes in Texas by recording a hard workout session. Please give us some feedback on the video and some ideas to make it better. Should we make this a weekly feature?
