Virginia wrestling fans can anticipate great things during upcoming seasons from an already impressive young squad.
Consider this: You arrive at the job interview of your dreams only to be greeted with the words, "Don't call us, we'll call you." Your skin-tight button-up shirt, dust-covered dress shoes and borrowed pair of khaki pants had landed the position for someone else before you could even open your mouth.
On a dreary Friday afternoon, as most University students are heading home to unwind before the weekend, fourth-year College student Ryan Hurley and fourth-year Continuing Education student Pat Mellors are preparing to dive into the water for a two-hour swim practice.
In case you haven't noticed why so many first-year girls are looking lost and self-conscious in the Rugby/Madison/Chancellor area in the past few days, it's because sorority rush has descended upon us. Or, if you'd like to use the appropriate euphemism, call it "Formal Recruitment." We luckily do not attend one of those schools where the Greek system dominates everything and the wrong sorority bid can mean social or even literal suicide. The process, however, is still brutal, with hours of small talk, high heels and waiting outside in the freezing cold while frat boys throw water balloons and powdered donuts.
The cornerstone of Virginia wrestling this season seems to be the Keystone State. Twelve of the 31 wrestlers on Virginia coach Steve Garland's roster wrestled their prep careers in Pennsylvania, which is one of the top prep and collegiate wrestling states in the country. Thus, for slightly more than a third of the Virginia wrestling squad, the Nittany Lion Open Sunday in State College, Pa. was like a homecoming meet.
The Virginia wrestling team will take a break from the fierce competition of dual meets to celebrate individual achievements at the Nittany Lion Open tomorrow in State College, Pa. The Cavaliers will have a chance to compile personal stats against some of the best wrestlers in the nation before a short vacation from competition until after Christmas.
The Virginia men's basketball team made a strong run last year, unbearably losing on a rimmed-out 3-pointer to Tennessee in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Fast forward to this season and the question of how this year's team would look. It was obvious that starters Jason Cain and co-captain J.R. Reynolds would not be back after graduation. There also was a scare throughout Charlottesville when then-junior Sean Singletary declared for the NBA draft. Luckily for Cavs fans, Sean decided to return for his senior season, and experienced big men senior Ryan Pettinella and junior Laurynas Mikalauskas skillfully took over the position vacated by Cain. But who was going to take the starting position left by Reynolds?
Coming off of its first loss of the young season, the Virginia women's basketball team looks to get back on track as it travels to take on South Carolina tonight.
This afternoon's meet pitting the 12th-ranked Virginia men's swimming and diving team against 11th-ranked Tennessee has been pegged as the national "meet of the week" by swimmingworldmagazine.com.
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, R-Pa., spoke last night at the University about confronting what he described as the threat of radical Islam and fighting "the war against Islamic fascism." The program, aimed at raising awareness, also sparked controversy among University student groups who criticized Santorum's stance.
The Virginia swimming and diving teams returned home from State College, Pa. Saturday after a respectable showing at their own version of the Big Ten Challenge. The 12th-ranked Cavalier men (4-1) beat Michigan State handedly, 233.5-117.5, while also narrowly defeating No. 25 Penn State 183.5
WHAT HAPPENS to a woman after she undergoes an abortion? What does a woman experience in the days, months and years after she is driven out of the clinic parking lot? Is it relief? Pain? Regret?
As a kid, my parents used to take me on day trips to places within a couple hours drive of the Washington, D.C. area. We frequently visited locales like Harpers Ferry, W.Va., famous for John Brown's armory raid, and Berkeley Springs, Va., where I hunted for pet crayfish in George Washington's outdoor bathtub. But for all my fond memories of these destinations, I remember most looking forward to visiting Amish country in Lancaster, Pa. for its Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Mikell Simpson casually walked into the media tent at Byrd Stadium. It was the first time this season he had been requested for interviews following a game.
It's a Monday morning, and you're sitting in class waiting for the lecture to begin. For 50 minutes or so, you take notes, trying to take in what the professor is saying.
Transitioning into college life can be tough. For those who need a friend, tutor or advice about classes, the Office of African-American Affairs offers the Peer Advisor Mentoring Program for incoming black first-year and transfer students.
ON SATURDAY I flipped on my television hoping to watch a little college football, and though our contest with Wyoming barely qualified as such, I found a match-up worthy of my attention in the Virginia Tech--East Carolina game. Watching those gaudy maroon and orange uniforms fly about the field evoked a familiar feeling of revulsion in the pit of my stomach, a feeling I quickly repressed in light of last April's shooting. I found myself wondering, "Can I still root against Virginia Tech, or has their newfound status as a de facto 'America's team' made antipathy for them a football faux pas?" The answer is that we still may and ought to root against Virginia Tech sports, so long as we continue to show love and support to the individual Tech students..
One thing I love about this University is that we are an adventurous bunch of Wahoos. Many of our peers have just returned home jet-lagged but smiling after studing abroad or just plain exporing in Europe, Asia or South America. But because my parents threatened murder if I bought any more trans-Atlantic plane tickets, my travels this summer were restricted to the North American continent.
I'm interning in New York for the summer and my parents came to visit me last weekend. My dad insisted that my mother not take out a map when we were in public so people would not think we were "rednecks from Boise, Idaho" --because clearly Boise connotes more redneck fun than my home state of Georgia.
