It's our fifth week of school and twentieth day of practice as a team, but today is different. Since returning to (or, in the case of our freshmen, first arriving at) campus in mid-August, we have spent our time with noses in text books, tennis shoes circling the track, hosting recruits, catching up after a long summer, and burning our hands and biceps on somewhere around thirty-five rope climbs. Luckily most of the soreness is over, and we can enjoy today--our first official day of practice!
With our first crop of upperclassmen, four experienced sophomores, and three more new faces on the team, I (and I know I speak for all of the Gym'Backs) have high hopes for this season. Today marks the official beginning of a very long and sure to be thrilling adventure.
