Results
Donner's Debriefing
"I was pleased with the Tuneup and we accomplished many of our goals. Some athletes have big days and may have run, jumped, or thrown themselves into the conversation of a league roster spot. Which is what I was looking for. My philosophy is that the more people in the discussion for 32 spots, the better we are as a team."
