We are honored to be your first exercise ?buddy? recipients. We both have found it is easier and more fun to work out (complain) together. We are able to encourage one another on days one of us does not feel like going, remind each other to drink water, able to extract our partner from the leg machine after our legs our too tired to get out on our own, we find we are able to laugh during our workouts, and finally we are able to see our ?buddy?s? results and celebrate small successes together. Even though we were wary about starting a fitness program, we are amazed at how much progress we have made in just a semester. We have tripled the amount of time we can spend on the cardiovascular machines, we have increased the number of reps and amount of weight handle in our weight program. We have noticed the improvement in our balance and posture. Both of us see students from our classes while we are at the Fitness Center and receive encouragement from students, faculty, staff and administration.

The Northeast Texas Community College Eagles host Navarro College in a double header on March 5th, and the Bulldogs came away with two wins over the home team by a score of 13-0 and 9-6. Not much would go right for the Eagles in game one of the series. NTCC was limited to just two hits and three walks in the game.
The NTCC Career and Transfer team will host Annie Garcia, UT Tyler Admissions Coordinator, on Wednesday, Sept. 14 in the SUB from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is to help inform NTCC students about what degrees UT Tyler offers and what requirements are needed for each degree. Mrs. Garcia will waive application fees ($60) for students who apply during her visit.
