Back in the 90's the three teams to beat were Tech, A&M, and Navy. If it had not been for an injured lifter last year, the men's team would have won in 2007.
This is a club sport at Tech. It has always been a club sport but has been treated as if it were a varsity sport. The University's view of the program has been changing since Dr. Talton left. Dr. Talton was the chair of the college when he was at Tech. After he left, his replacements have not expressed much interest in the program. The current Chair isn't supporting this team at all. To her this team is no different than a frisbee golf club at Tech. The best thing any of us can do at this point is express our support of the team to the higher-ups at the University and help give them a voice.
