With the 2007 season quickly approaching the Pilots will be looking to upper classmen field event standouts Chris Warhop, Travis LaVine, and Zach Burrington for leadership and points.
Chris is a standout long jumper for the Pilots and managed to lead the team in points earned in the jumps during the 2006 season. Chris was also able to put together an impressive late season push that included
a conference championship, a new school record, and a qualification to the NAIA National Championships. In 2007 Warhop looks to become an impact sprinter, better his standing school record in the long jump, defend his conference title and become an NAIA All-American. With his pre-season work and new versatility in speed and hops; the sky seems to be the limit for Chris.

During last seasons conference meet, Travis was able to come up with key throws that helped 
give the Pilots points that lead to their victory. Even with that high, There were some lows for Travis. He twice came up inches short of competing in both the indoor and outdoor NAIA National Championships; after those disappointments Travis is primed for his breakout season. During the Pilots preseason, Travis has pushed and been pushed by Freshman Eric Cody, JJ Jackson, and Brandon Hooven. With the new horses under his wing Travis will be looking to lead by example and throw his way to an appearance at the National meets.

Zach Burrington is a NAIA household name. Burrington has been an NAIA All-American multiple times; not to mention a conference champion and NCCAA All-American. In his Junior season, look for Burrington to again lead the Pilots in the all around field event category and in team leadership. He has visable hard work ethic and leads by example; those traits alone give Zach's vaulting teammates and extended track family a spark. That spark should help lead the Pilots to another successful season.
