So would have I. I've really enjoyed watching him mature during his years at UA. He's gone from being super-cocky to being an articulate, poised team leader. Impressive young man.
I've seen Santiago and Malik play locally - they are the real deal, and a great pickup for the team! I'm not sure what happened with Malik at NC, but he's a solid mid-fielder.
Of course we were all rooting for him. Not his best race obviously but he still has the bronze from 2016. So in the last seven years the Zips have had three athletes and one bronze in the Olympics, a significant player in the World Cup, an inductee into the pro football Hall of Fame and an Oscar winner. Not a bad haul :-)
