LSC Cyclists Compete at National Championships |
|
Members of the LSC coed cycling team traveled to Durango, Colorado, last weekend to compete in the USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships. The 'Hawks were impressive right from the start. LSC's Tate Smith qualified 8th out of 55 and Austin Hudyma qualified 31st in the Dual Slalom qualifying race. It was cold and snowy in Durango, at over 8,800 feet, giving our LSC IceHawks a bit of an advantage. Tate ended up placing 17th and Austin placed 31st out of 55 of the best riders in the nation. For the downhill race, Austin placed 25th and Tate placed 29th. The weather led to several changing conditions and challenges, but our IceHawks handled it well and battled the conditions to deliver impressive performances. Congratulations to Coach Greg Daw and the entire team on another successful season. Thanks for representing #IceHawkNation so well! |

Students Tour Glensheen's Obscura Exhibit |

A group of LSC students toured Glensheen Mansion with Student Life to check out the Obscura Exhibit. This special exhibit featured fascinating pieces purchased by the Congdons during their worldly travels, which are usually stored gently away and rarely seen by the public. The students pictured are part of LSC's PSEO program. Thanks to LSC student Jack Guse for the great photos. |
