Colgate Weight Room Upgrade

[colgate13]

While it's not as pretty as some schools around the FCS world, it is good to see my alma mater is keeping up with the competition as best as it can.

HAMILTON, N.Y. (8/13/07) – The Colgate University varsity weight room underwent some major upgrades during the summer. Seven heavy duty rack and platform combinations were donated to replace the existing rack/platform equipment.

Looks great! looks like the third floor of Huntington (it was an auxiliary gym when I was at Colgate) has been cleaned up nicely as well. It's a great gift by several of our FB alumni. xsmileyclapx xhypedx xhurrayx xnodx

Looks nice to me. To me the weight room is not something that needs to be bling-blinging. I like the slogan in the background that reads "Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.

Lehigh has two primary gyms since the campus is so spread out. I'm guessing Welch, the older one, is the one that is primarily used given it's proximaty to the academic campus.

Are any of the donors former footballers?

[Go...gate]

All of them.

Yea, this is a football alum thing. God bless them!

I'm sure Mark Van Eeghen donated a good amount. Mark used to workout at the same gym as me; great guy.

Congratulations on a beautiful weight training facility.

Looks awesome. I think there is also some indoor turf for 40-yard dash training and testing as well. It is a great overall facility. xthumbsupx

Here is the website with links to the new Bourger Varsity House with weight room etc. It is real impressive and it closes off the empty end of the stadium. It will create a more intimate and energetic environment.

Kudos also to the Colgate Maroon Council, which helped put the donors together.

It was a real coup when we recruited Van Eeghen and Tommy Parr back in 1970. They were something to watch, running the Wishbone.

As were Marv Hubbard, Mark Murphy, Jacques MacKinnon & Kenny Gamble...:D
