Odicci Alexander had a Women’s College World Series (WCWS) to remember.

For most of us, the day looks something like this: wake up in the morning, make some coffee, rush out the door or get right to work at home, then spend the evening with family or friends or catching up on everything you couldn’t do during the day. Among all of the hustle and bustle,

Simone Biles is the greatest athlete in women’s gymnastics, no questions asked. Can you guess who the most decorated gymnast, period, is in World Championship history? Yeah, it’s her, too. On June 4, the first night of the 2021 US Gymnastics Championships for senior-level women, the 24-year-old came out to flip and twist in a

When I was in elementary school, every student had to take a yearly Presidential Fitness Test consisting of running a mile, and doing shuttle sprints, pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, and toe reaches.
