Notas del episodio

In Episode 2 of Generals on the March, host Thomas Wakefield sits down with Dr. Neely Young — Class of 1966, W&L historian, and grandson of Cy Young, widely considered the greatest athlete in university history.

Dr. Young unpacks W&L's forgotten golden age, when a small school in Lexington competed against Army, Navy, Auburn, and the Ivys — and won. He shares the remarkable story of Cy Young, a four-sport, 16-letter man who earned All-American honors, may have broken the world record in the 100-yard dash, and coached W&L basketball!

They also dig into the decision to go Division III, Robert E. Lee's early influence on student athletics, and why that culture of excellence still defines W&L today. Go Generals!
