Last Friday night, the soccer team closed training camp with a team meal to Little Mexico in downtown Crawfordsville.  We were all excited to be out of the dining hall with a great meal from one of the town’s best restaurants.  Even though all the guys seemed to handle the Mexican food well, Josue', our native Mexican, was ironically the only one struggling with the meal days later.  Fortunately, he is feeling much better now…maybe he was a little too excited about having authentic Mexican cuisine.

 It was a fun and relaxed time for all of us to get our minds off soccer and enjoy the company of teammates.  I remember Gary, Taz, and I talking with the younger guys about experiences we had abroad and sharing some tips before they leave on their own adventures in the spring.  Between conversations about traveling and ideas for our skits the next day, I got to sit back as a senior and think about my four years at Wabash.  I looked at the freshmen and could not help but think about my first team meal when I arrived on campus in 2004.  It seems like yesterday, and now, I realize that in just three days I have the last chance of my life to ever face DePauw on the pitch.  For as long as I can remember, it has been a dream of mine to represent Wabash and beat DePauw.  I get chills just thinking about Friday, and I can’t hardly wait to walk on the pitch with this incredible group of men.  I know we’re going places this year, and I can’t be more proud to be a part of this team.
