  1. Mahalo Mr. Joseph for including us in your blog and thank you for supporting Collegiate running. The Online Petition was a joint effort by the HPU team and the two Vulcans harriers.
    Again Thank you, our goal is 500 signatures (but if we exceed that it would be great!!) and that Coach Jaime Guepo with the signatures and a program budget proposal will be able to pursuit the University to change their minds about cutting our teams

  2. As a current runner in the UHH Vulcan cross country team, I am extremely thankful for all the help you are providing. The team is doing everything we can to think of ways to save the program, and knowing that there are others out there, especially from the fellow colleges, who are working with us in this endeavor is very encouraging.
