In a rare bit of confluence, Nate Strother's athletic training is helping with his education.
Strother, a junior boxer on the Nevada club team, is in the ROTC program in school. The ROTC requires physical training, which helps Strother with his conditioning for boxing.
"(Boxing) definitely helps me max out on my PT (physical fitness) test," Strother said. "Because I'm in here (the gym) doing all the work."
He runs with the ROTC program every morning, then trains with the boxing team every afternoon.
