This student organized club has been the highlight of my college experience I’d prolly still be rotting in my room if I didn’t have these guys to hold me accountable, hang out with , and train

Logan supported: Make Boxing an organization for Texas State University.

I chose to attend IUP after meeting Coach Zins. There was no one else I would haven't wanted to run for as an incoming collegiate athlete. My time at IUP would have been drastically different without the guidance of Coach as an overall mentor in every aspect of my education and athletics. I can't imagine what current and future student athletes would be missing out on without Coach Zins as a leader at this university.

Rachel supported: Retain Joey Zins as the Head Cross Country/Track & Field Coach at IUP

I am a 2020 IUP XC/TF alumni. Coach Zins was monumental in my running career. Watching his dedication, work ethic and care he had for the program and athletes despite lack of support from IUP athletic management was admirable. He coaches multiple athletes year-round without the help of official assistant coaches - an incredibly hard feat. He has led numerous runners to improve, break records & be a part of IUP history. Coach Zins deserves the world, and deserves to stay.

Taylor supported: Retain Joey Zins as the Head Cross Country/Track & Field Coach at IUP

I, myself run cross country and track and love my coach. Taking away a coach who’s been there for a while will change everything about a team. Not only is it the individuals running and doing the sport that make the team a whole, but it is also the coach. they have built a mini family within their team and it isn’t fair to just take it away.

Eliza supported: Retain Joey Zins as the Head Cross Country/Track & Field Coach at IUP

Coach Zins pushed me to be better than I could have ever thought that I would be, and I know my story has been replayed over and over again with various other runners throughout his tenure. He is the lifeblood of the program and the only true connection most of us have to the IUP athletics department at this point. He wants to be there so why not work it out so he can stay?
