Kayla and Dad went to UCONN to catch the tail end of the Women’s team competing in the UConn Select Invite and the beginning of the men’s team meet against Albany (“The Dog Fight“). Kayla got to chat with Greg Roy, the UCONN men’s coach. He knew Newton North as a top program and also knows her pole vault coach Brenner Abbott, who coaches at Northeastern.
We got to sample some UConn dairy bar ice cream and pick up some UConn gear for her and Jared at the coop. We also visited Gampel, the pool, the chemical engineering department, and the Husky Heritage Sports Museum where we found a plaque with both Dad and Rebecca Lobo on it — I figured Gampy would appreciate that.
Hurray — Dad gets ink and a photo on sports.priorfamily.org!
