Wheelchair Basketball

Hi All,

I wanted to keep you updated with life here in Happy Valley. Penn State lost its first football game this past weekend (significantly impacting any chances of going to the national championship), but all the students are standing behind their team. If we win our final two games, Penn State is guaranteed a bid into the Rose Bowl on New Years Day in Pasadena, California. We are all looking forward to that!

Wheelchair Basketball is starting to get into full swing here, too. We had an extended practice tonight of an extra half hour because we are getting ready for our first big event - halftime show at the mens basketball team's game against the New Jersey Institute of Technology! This should be a great experience as it will be the first time I have played in front of such a large crowd! I am so excited!

The Wheelchair Basketball team was recently featured on Penn State's television network, PSU TV, with a two and a half minute story. You can watch it below:





With only a week and a half until Thanksgiving Break, everyone is already starting to count the days until they go home and see their family and friends. Personally, I can't wait to see my friends and family, too, but a little bit of me is already thinking about squeezing some skiing in during break. I have never made my first tracks of the season in November!

Let it snow,

Tracker
