pass to a teammate on the field. Throughout the

summer, May practiced his spiral through various drills with his other team members. “We do these drills to prevent us from

getting hit in the game and allow us to get better,”

May said.

Travelers share their experiences

from summer trips within the

United States

Sitting on a rail guard, Caroline Blanton (10) poses for a picture in Seattle. She traveled there this past July and went to attractions like Pier 57.“It was fun. It felt really good not being in school and I like traveling a lot,” Blanton said.

With wind blowing through her hair, Kate Prest (11) poses in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. Prest traveled to San Francisco over summer break to visit her family. “Half of my family lives in San Francisco. When we visited, we had this big Filipino family get-together with a ton of food. It was nice because I hadn’t seen them in a long time. San Francisco is definitely a place I can call a second home,” Prest said.

Strapped into a harness, Hartley Hill (10) smiles as she swings through the air. Hill went to Camp Greystone in North Carolina during July and got the oppurtunity to zipline. “It’s really fun, some people think it’s scary, but its super fun,” Hill said.

With a ball craddled to their chest, Larry Jackson (11) and MiGeon McKinnis (11) perform the lineman drill by running through fake padded defenders. Players performed this drill to gain speed and strength for the upcoming season. “The lineman drill helps me get through offenders who are tougher and stronger than me and because I’m short I need practice. It’s like a simulator of carrying the team on my back; if I don’t get through this drill, I let my team down,” McKinnis said.

Pushing against each other, Brooks Bak (10) and Steven Sargeant (12) utilize their strength in the circle scrum drill. Players performed the circle scrum drill for motivation and to work on their endurance and power. “It’s a great way to create a pulse in practice and get everyone hyped up,” Sargent said.

“It’s really important for us to stretch so we don’t pull a muscle. We do mostly lunges and anything to stretch out our hamstrings.” Sidney Mazza (10)

of scary ‘cause I thought I was going to fall, I was

going really fast,” said Kelly.
