Happy Father's Day!!!


That's my Dad, Jim Small on the left and my brother Jay Small on the right -- Happy Father's Day to both of you!

I wake up this Father's Day morning in a camping trailer located along the back stretch of Iowa Speedway -- this is a first in my life-time.  What's great about this is I'm the very proud DAD of three great kids and they are here with me.  Can't beat this!!!

I want to wish all of "us" DAD's a wonderful day and a wonderful year!

By Golly Miss Molly! A National Championship!


Junior Molly Seidel (Hartland, WI) won Notre Dame's FIRST EVER INDIVIDUAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in Women's Track & Field yesterday!

Molly won the 10,000 meter event at the NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track & Field National Championship in Eugene Oregon!  It's only the third time she's ever competed in this event!

I'm guessing the track world will now be calling Notre Dame "Distance U" -- since ND alum Molly Huddle '09, is the current American record holder in the 5,000 meters and now Molly Seidel '16, is the current National Champion in the 10,000 meters -- and the reigning two-time High School Cross Country National Champion Anna Rohrer '19 will be arriving on campus in August!!!
