Some Short Items

-- Lee Fowler wasn't the only one who got a contract extension yesterday:

Rollie Geiger, in his 25th season as Pack cross country and track and field coach, was given a contract extension through 2010. Geiger recently was named assistant athletics director for track and cross country.

That's great news.

-- Baseball washed out the bitter taste from the GT series by beating UNCW yesterday.

That doesn't include any adjustments for schedule strength, but you get a decent idea where the teams stand.
