Swim Meet and Squash Matches

The weekend is upon us and we just mopped out our aerobics room for usage by the swim team who will have a home meet tomorrow - best of luck to Kate, Madison, and Theresa as they go to represent Trinity IN the water versus ON the water. The two-sport athlete is alive and well at the College and I love that they are keeping their athletic experience broad and competitive.

Also just watched Trinity women's squash play the Stanford Cardinal - how amazing is it that a NESCAC school can compete with a university as large as Stanford and come out on top. There's something pretty exciting about the high expectations that our scholar-athletes have and how there's absolutely no intimidation factor. In fact, I don't know too many colleges that are eager to come and play on our home courts.

Question for all of you: What drives you to do better? Where does that impulse come from and what areas are you striving for excellence?
