The volleyball team completed theirs and from the remarks of my roommate Lauren Crump it was pretty tough!!

The track teams Red Wold Challenge is set for October 22nd at 4:00pm

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about it, I am a very competitive person so I have no choice but to go all out. I wish all my teammates the best of luck :)
