Good Morning, Auburn Family. The Auburn men’s track team has been showing up and showing out at this year’s NCAA Outdoor Championships, and some members shared their thoughts on the team’s progress so far:

“We’re gonna put on a show for sure.” - Make Charamba

It feels good to know that I can go out here and do what I need to do, when I need to do it.” - Ja’Kobe Tharp

“I love this school … it’s a little sentimental for me, but I’m proud of everything, and I’m just excited to see what the rest of these guys do this week.” - Kyle Brown

“We are one of the best teams here … we want this pressure. We know we can do more. Catch you on Friday!” - Azeem Fahmi

🔼 This Team Had Heart. Reflecting on a milestone season that featured attendance records, Auburn’s highest national seed, an NCAA regional sweep and the program’s first home super regional, head coach Butch Thompson credited the student-athletes who made it happen.  

“This group will forever have a special place in my heart,” he said. “They did things right from day one. They had a good, healthy chip on their shoulder.”

During the season, two Tigers lost a parent to illness, with the mother of outfielder Cade Belyeu and the father of pitcher Saxon Roberts both passing away.

“There were some things behind the scenes that only we could see,” Thompson said. “It made it pretty incredible how close we got.”

Thompson, in a Talking Tigers podcast with Voice of the Auburn Tigers Andy Burcham that will post Monday, says he’s juggling mixed emotions in the season’s aftermath: gratitude for a historic year, sadness that it ended two wins shy of Omaha.
