OT story on Taft

In the summer of 2005, just before our younger son’s senior year in high school, we visited Taft as part of a survey of schools for a PG year. He was playing both lax and football at the time. We, the parents, loved Taft, but our son was hesitant. He eventually explained that he couldn’t believe their strength/weight facilities. They had a few machines - treadmills, nautilus, etc. - but hardly any free weights other than some smaller hand weights. It kinda looked like what the women’s basketball teams complained about at this year’s NCAA championships. So, as much as his parents loved Taft, he wasn’t having it. [I’m sure their facilities are much improved since that time.]
