"When we're bringing in top-level recruits, we can have the best horses, great stables and all of the other great things like the Dodie Academic Enrichment Center, but a team's locker room is a crucial element to the makeup and chemistry of the team. This new locker room is going to be terrific and will really help our program stand out."
