February 7, 2025: Inspiring Sports Stories: FSU Student-Athletes

[For this year’s Super Bowl series, I wanted to highlight inspiring American sports stories and figures, past and present. Leading up to a special pre-Valentine’s tribute to my two favorite American athletes!]

As I near the conclusion of my 20^th (!) year at Fitchburg State University, I wanted to share quick examples of a handful of the many amazing student-athletes I’ve taught across those two decades. These folks stand out for their record-breaking accomplishments, but they also represent the vast majority of such student-athletes at FSU, a school that can’t offer athletic scholarships, that still demands an exceptionally challenging balance of its student-athletes, and that would be infinitely impoverished without folks such as these:

1)      Amy Fahey

2)      Aidan Hanratty

3)      Diana Okongo

4)      Cameron Monette

5)      Oliver Cookson

6)      Jenna Morse

Special post this weekend,

Ben
