Quote from head track and field coach Karen Lutzke:

"Brittany McDuffie was a pleasure to have on the track and field team. Her bubbly personality was contagious with her teammates. Brittany was involved with a lot of organizations and events on campus, and she was the big sister whom her teammates counted on for advice. We will miss Brittany next year."

Editor's Note: The COVID-19 pandemic caused the abrubt end to winter and spring sports for the 2019-20 academic year. We are not able to host Senior Day ceremonies to thank these seniors for their dedication to their chosen sport. As a result, we will be posting senior salutes like above for each senior over the coming weeks.
