Hempstead, NY - Members of the Hofstra Men's and Women's Basketball, Men's Lacrosse and Wrestling teams have been keeping busy this summer working out as they prepare for the upcoming 2010-11 seasons.

Nearly all of Hofstra's teams have student-athletes staying on campus and working out this summer, but these four squads all had a considerable amount of team members in attendance during the summer months.

Overseeing the voluntary workouts have been Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Scott Wilks and Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach Jimmy Prendergast.  Many of the workouts occur early in the morning so to not interfere with the student-athlete's summer school schedule.

The summer workouts have been a great testament to the dedication of our student-athletes here at Hofstra University," commented Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Scott Wilks.  "We have had multiple teams here this summer preparing for the upcoming seasons including; Wrestling, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Men's Lacrosse and Volleyball.  For the athletes to perform at a high level our philosophy is to prepare the them both physically and mentally.  I believe that each team has stepped up and accepted the challenges that have faced them day in and day out.  I look forward to seeing the hard work payoff in the upcoming seasons."
