Smooth Landing

A couple springs ago, Marv Roeske got a phone call from a parent, alerting the Cobbers track coach that his kid planned to attend Concordia. The father explained that his daughter had some talent and upside, but she wasn’t sure if she wanted to be a college athlete. “Occasionally, you get a referral from somebody, rarely a parent, and many times they don’t amount to much,” Roeske said. This time the tip proved solid. Hilary Thompson – now a Concordia sophomore – eventually decided to go out for track. This spring, Thompson has blossomed into one of the top jumpers in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
