A quick Summer Recap: An amazing two week trip courtesy of the REB Award and some amazing students and parents. First stop was in Edinburgh to visit some amazing sites and visit some sport fields and amazing golf courses.

Our team of nearly 80 students enrolled in our Turf Science Program have overcome weather, traffic, plant pests and more to make our Homecoming and Hall Of Fame Game design a huge success! Ag Education at its best! @FieldExperts @HanoverSchools @ATLRaiderNation @NationalFFA
@jimRFU I am curious if you had a moment to chat with @atleeturf this July while I am touring facilities around London. Would love to see a premier rugby pitch while in the area.

We have taken delivery of 4 new mowers for the spring sports season! Ultimate in green energy! @atleeffa @ATLRaiderNation
As you watch tonight's game, think of all the hours the Superbowl Field Staff has put into the field over the last several weeks to make sure the players have a safe and playable surface. We strive for the very same thing for the athletes of @AtleeAthletics and @ATLRaiderNation
Grasses developed by USGA funded research are used at the stadiums of many professional sports teams - including the @Chiefs who are playing in tonight's #SuperBowl

The 2024 Super Bowl Field is down and the grow-in has begun!
A major stage of the #SBLVIII field prep process completed - sod installation ✔️
88M Tifway2 hybrid Bermuda over-seeded w/ rye installed over 3 days. Huge thanks to @WestCoastTurf & crew.
Finished w/ a roll, some water and blankets back down for the night.

As you watched the game, I hope you were able to see sports turf technology at work!
A fun piece of info about tonight’s Chiefs-Dolphins game is that the Chiefs spent $2.2 million on a heating system under the field in 2016.
So while the wind chill is -30 degrees, the actual field itself will be heated to 50 degrees.
The pipes are 9 inches below the field.

One of the most influential coaches to have ever graced Atlee High School. Coach Triempler helped every single athlete to meet or exceed their potential. He leaves a legacy of excellence. We all are better for knowing him and working with him.
BREAKING: We are saddened to report that legendary @AtleeTrack head coach Jim Triemplar has passed away. We will post information on a memorial as it becomes available. Our deepest condolences to the countless thousands of student-athletes who were impacted to Coach Jim.

@UTTurfPath, Thanks for giving my student one of the best college visit experiences a student could ask for. We had a 30 minute talk yesterday about how amazing it was! "Mr. Moran, I found a school for me" were the first words from his mouth.
The students in the @atleeturf program broke out the paint again for another Stars and Stripes inspired design! @FieldExperts @ATLRaiderNation @VirginiaSFMA @NationalFFA @VirginiaFFA
Nick is a former FFA member from Iowa. It is amazing to see how many of the core classes at AHS interact with our agriculture, horticulture, and turf science courses.

Our students worked hard and had a great day!
SO GREAT having 19 students in this our 3rd year hosting the #FFA Turfgrass Mgt. CDE! We’re inside the classroom due to the rain, but the students are still getting a hands-on experience with #turfgrass identification! Hope to see them all again as future @VTTurfgrass Hokies🦃
