From the coaching staff:
"Temi is an extremely hard worker, strong talent and great teammate. He excels in the short sprints and relays and led the team as a captain. Always focused on hard work, form, and effort, Temi is never afraid to hold teammates, coaches, or himself accountable." - March 2020

What others say:
"Although Temi was the captain to give out tough love, he is also one of the sweetest and funniest individuals I've ever met. He always knew everyone's times and goals, and always made you believe that you can reach those goal times." - March 2020

"Always knew how to reassure team members when they didn't perform as well as expected." - April 2020

"One of the hardest working guys I know. He put everything he had into track and only wanted the people around him to succeed. A true leader and he will have a lot of success in the next chapter of life." - April 2020

"Fantastic team leader who energizes and encourages the team in every setting. Always looking for ways to keep team morale high and lift up team spirit." - April 2020

"Definitely the most intimidating senior, in my opinion. Although I technically was scared of him, I respect how he acts during situations. He shows how what it means to be a captain and leader for his team. He knows what to say right before a hard race and he knows what to say after a bad race. That's what makes him a great person." - April 2020
