We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

He's got quite the pedigree. Pitt, Texas, Clemson and Charlotte.

Pitt men had a couple national championship race runners last season.

I don't have any insight to the program so maybe someone that does can confirm, but I was told that Curcio was asked to step back with the women's program so they can hire a dedicated distance coach to the women and he said no -- which is what led to him finding another job.

Again, no idea if that's true, but if it is this move could be used beneficial for both parties.
