Run for the Roses Cystic Fibrosis Charity Event
















(left - pre run; above - after!)




On Sunday, May 3rd, we participated in ONU's first annual Run for the Roses Cystic Fibrosis Charity event as a team. The event was put together by our ONU athletic training staff and student athletic trainers in honor of 2 special people from the ONU community who have been affected by this condition. We were happy to give our energy for such a good cause as this. As we try to remind our team, we like to be known for more than women's basketball on campus - it's about service to others, to our campus, and our community. These are pillars in our program mission and philosophy. And, in the case of this event, it was such a candid reminder of what we need to remember - to be grateful on a daily basis for our health and opportunity to participate in athletics. We are definitely on the participant list for 2010 too!

Since then, our spring quarter is officially over - meaning exams and stress! Graduation has come and gone from this past Sunday, and now Coach Durand and I are getting ready for our Girls fundamental camp and HS team shootout in June. Time really does fly! But it will be good to see our athletes again in a few weeks. It's always strange when it winds down for the year to not have them in and out of the office! Until the next one, take care!
