Chico State Athletics

After several years of missed training due to a broken foot and complications with the recovery from this ailment, Danny DiMeo is back and running strong again.  The Wildcats' team captain enjoyed a solid start to collegiate running, just missing a Top-20 finish at the CCAA meet his frosh season.  After missing much of the next two years of competition, DiMeo returned 2007 and enjoyed a Top-25 finish at the Chico Invite, as well as a 33:20s 10k at the annual Almond Bowl footrace.  Now facing his final collegiate season, DiMeo is as motivated as ever to reach a new level of running.  Given the amazing amount of energy and work that DiMeo has put into this team during his time in Chico there is no doubt that he deserves this breakthrough as much as anyone ever has.  DiMeo also serves as president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), made up of student-athletes from each of Chico State's 13 athletics teams.
