The feeling of coming back to West Virginia University and into a routine after three long months of summer is indescribable. Morgantown in the fall means that things start to kick back into full gear, so balancing athletics and academics is very important in order to be successful. On my drive back to the mountain state, I looked forward to being reunited with my teammates along with meeting the newcomers on the team. I also was ready to compete as a team again, and jump back in the routine of 7 a.m. practice.
Over the summer, our team was all over the world, from Africa to Europe, so communication was quite a challenge, but somehow we were able to find a way to keep in touch with one another.
