NAPERVILLE, Ill. - On October 24 and 25, the CCIW held its SAAC retreat in Naperville and among the few select schools in the conference to send student-athletes to the event, Augustana was represented by track and field's Amelia Miller and Bryce Jackson. 

 

At the leadership event, new NCAA rules proposals were discussed, giving the representatives a chance to play an active role in the future of the conference and NCAA as a whole. Additionally, presentations by notable speakers were held and the student-athletes were able to engage with the speakers. Some of the presenters were Riddell's Content and Partnerships Marketing Manager Jordan Anderson, Melissa Hager from the Mentally Strong Institute, and the CEO and founder of Officially Human, Brenda Hilton. 

 

While at the retreat, Miller and Jackson were also able to connect and learn alongside other CCIW SAAC representatives. The group explored ways to carry student-athlete qualities into their careers and how to maintain a competitive mindset while still playing freely among other topics.
