There was much talk about different sports at last night's event. Some are football-focused, others like basketball, and Zach just likes ALL sports!

 

A complete list of RWC sports events can be found on the RWC athletics calendar here. Check it out and let's keep talking about some events to attend - either as a large group or with smaller combinations of students and mentors.

 

Here is an event happening tomorrow (Saturday, October 24 at noon)!
