I found some more pictures that I hadn’t put up on flickr. These photos were from my first trip to the NCAA’s as a Whitman Coach. At the time this was probably one of the best freshman classes in the nation — 5 freshman all playing in the top 5. I believe that year we reached a high ranking of #12.
