Dominican University unveiled its first recruiting class for its track and field program, which is set to begin competing next spring.
The class of eight athletes features several North Bay natives, including former Novato High standout Samantha Campopiano.
Dominican also announced on Wednesday the hiring of the school’s first ever women’s lacrosse coach. Joseph Manna will lead the program starting in the 2022-23 school year. He’ll spend next year recruiting.
A New York native, Manna began his coaching career at his alma mater, SUNY Delhi, and has since served on staffs at East Carolina, Furman and, most recently, University of Detroit Mercy.
