“No. I think the slump (sự sụp xuống) is just part of being in the ACC,” his father said. “The first half of the season, teams don’t really know about you. You have an opportunity to get a jump on them. Second half of the season, … when they start keying in on you [defensively], then … it’s up to the coaching staff to help that kid with that.”

The two riders popped out onto the long finishing stretch together. Not wanting to let Bakker get a jump on her, Jackson upped the pace and then launched her sprint. With the two riders giving it everything they had, Jackson got to the line first by the slimmest of margins. Centimeters, if you will, for our friends from the north and across the pond.

Coach Tom Arth said 13 new players enrolled early to get a jump on their academic and athletic careers. “We hung on to the end. We were supposed to start [Friday]. It’s tough to kind of share that, obviously,” Arth said during a recent interview. “We’ve had a really incredible winter, just so much progress, so much growth — the competitive spirit, the attitude. You feel like you’re kind of getting to where you want to be culturally in the program, then everything’s put on hold and they’re sent home.”
