The Lebanon Valley women's track & field team is on a mission this season. The Dutchmen have dedicated the season to former teammate and Archbishop Prendergast grad Nicole Gallo, who was tragically killed in a hit-and-run outside of Delaware County Memorial Hospital.
In addition, the Dutchmen are raising funds for the Sunshine Foundation in Nicole's honor. Anyone who wishes to contribute to this worthy cause can do so on-line at http://www.godutchmen.com/news/2010/2/4/MTRK_0204102325.aspx
