January 2016
If there was a theme to the first month of 2016, it’s work hard, play hard. It all started off with a quick New Year’s weekend trip to Spokane, Washington to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I wasn’t...

Volleyball and Crossfit
I just got back from a vacation to LA, and as expected, it was wonderful. LA has become my go-to vacation spot of late because of the amazing weather and beaches there (primarily Hermosa...
My First Time Covering College Men’s Volleyball

Day 2: Who cheats in Crossfit??
Getting up early has been much easier than expected, especially since I have been sleeping a lot earlier. I’m going to keep this up once the class ends, and maybe try the 7 am...
This was a heartwarming read. Thanks Ted!
