The early bird catches the ball: Spring athletes have unusual practice hours this winter
Its 5:30 a.m. and alarms across campus are buzzing to signal the start of the day. Yes, that's A.M. as in very early in the morning, when it's still dark out, unbelievable early and in the wee hours of the day when most of the campus is still and quiet. Varsity athletes from several teams, wiping the sleep from their eyes, are getting dressed and trudging through the cold and snow to their early morning practices.
