Yul on racism

One thing I like about sport is that people are far more likely to talk about an athlete’s toe point, than skin colour.

Most coaches want to work with the best athletes. Period. They can be purple skinned or albino, coaches don’t care.

Here’s what Yul has to say.

Georgia out of SEC Championships

Iowa gymnast Alex Greenwald

Recall Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida?

It’s the first time since the conference became the Pac-12 that neither UCLA nor Utah will enter the championship as the top team.

Road to Nationals posted a chart showing who’s mathematically locked for a 2021 Regionals appearance.
