For the Lincoln University athletic department, "some day" has become "today."

Whenever the subject of the school's weight room was brought up, "some day" was part of the conversation. As in, "Some day things will get better." Or, even more daring, "Some day we'll get a new weight room."

The journey is now complete, as the school held an official ribbon-cutting Tuesday to dedicate the newly renovated, 4,000-square-foot facility in Soldiers Hall. It's where an older, much smaller weight room shared space with the ROTC rifle range.
