For this week’s Facilities Friday, we are visiting the home of @utampamsoccer, @utampawsoccer, and @utampatrack. Named after Arthur D. Pepin and his wife Polly, the facility features a lighted natural grass field bordered by a jogging track, a 1,500-seat partially covered grandstand, locker rooms, and more.

It has hosted multiple NCAA National Championships - including the 2001 men’s soccer title won by Tampa - and saw 17 outdoor track records shattered this year.

Some of University of Tampa’s track athletes took on the @tampamorgansmessage 9 for 9 Challenge. ❤️🖤

In honor of Morgan Rodgers, whose life was tragically lost after her battle with mental health, we came together to complete this 9 for 9 workout circuit. Morgan proudly wore #9, and today we honor her legacy by helping break the stigma surrounding mental health in athletics.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. No athlete should ever feel like they have to struggle alone.

What are you willing to do to keep your dream alive? Break your shoulder at the finish line after a blistering kick?

That's what Zachary Kehler of @utampatrack did to advance out of the 800-meter prelims at the @ncaadii Outdoor T&F Championships this past weekend. Kehler went from sixth to third over the final 150 meters and then dove at the finish line to secure the all-important automatic qualifier. He wouldn't have advanced to the final on time otherwise.

Kehler eventually gritted his way through the final to finish eighth and earn First-Team All-America honors. taken in Emporia, Kansas by @utampatrack
