A perhaps-unlikely group of student-athletes teamed up Monday in Chapel Hill to teach an important lesson. Four women's tennis players, two each from Duke and Carolina, stood together in the library at Glenwood Elementary School to speak to fourth-graders about compassion and sportsmanship. Two different shades of blue were represented by Carolina's Rachael James-Baker and Jessie Aney and Chalena Scholl and Kaitlyn McCarthy of Duke.
The visit grew out of a partnership with the non-profit COMPASSION IT, to help promote togetherness and understanding during ACC Sportsmanship Week.
"Compassion means to show someone love and warmth and kindness," James-Baker said.
