Women?s Basketball Staff Welcomes Veterans and Newcomers
? Southern Miss Women?s Head Basketball Coach Joye Lee-McNelis and her staff welcomed six letterwinners and nine newcomers to campus today in preparation for the 2004-05 season.
?We are excited to have all of our athletes return to campus,? McNelis said. ?We are anxious to get started. We begin individual workouts on Monday with the ?McNelis Challenge? which is a two-mile run at the Southern Miss Track and Field and Soccer Complex on the Marshall Bell Track at
?I?m excited about the opportunity to evaluate each player and their ability in the individual workout and conditioning program.? McNelis said. ?I want to challenge them and see who committed themselves this summer to conditioning and coming back in shape for a two-mile run. We want them to be able to run the two miles in 16 minutes. This two-mile run creates mental toughness, a little bit of anxiety and stress, which is what you experience in a game.?
