As a sophomore on Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ's Nordic team, Casey Wright leads the 'Skiwolves' in classic skiing. And as a member of Australia's national ski program, she represents her homeland at international competitions like the Junior World Championships in Utah and the Asian Winter Games in Japan (and maybe, just maybe, next year's Winter Olympics, too).
At our Health Sciences Simulation Center, students from the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ School of Nursing get to practice and perfect their skills in a safe, supportive environment.
For Sierra Afoa, school and sports have always been intertwined. Her coach/referee father Stan and her mom, Sarah - a two-sport athlete for the Seawolves, with two Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ education degrees - stressed that balance early. On Sunday afternoons, while Sarah graded homework in her classroom at Gladys Wood Elementary, the Afoa kids shot hoops in the school gym. Academics and athletics have been interconnected from the start.
