When winter break ended, Drake University senior Savannah Ming didn’t want to leave her parents. And she definitely didn’t want to leave her dog.
“I enjoyed being home with my family [during winter break],” Ming said.
But she needed to return to Drake. Ming’s last-first meet with the Drake Track and Field team was on Jan. 17 and would be followed by weekly competitions until her graduation day.
The sprints runner needed to be back in the Knapp Center training and bonding with her team so she could set herself up for a successful final season.
