Senior Jason Grimes, junior Jeric Kasunic and sohomore Josh Terao weren't supposed to be watching the finals of the 2017 NCAA Wrestling championships in St. Louis.

The scene in the athlete tunnel at the end of
Friday morning’s NCAA session stood in direct juxtaposition to the scene one

The NCAA tournament, the prime event for college
wrestlers during the season, offered a different kind of stage for AU sophomore
Josh Terao. During the regular wrestling season, Terao wrestled in front of a
couple dozen fans in Bender Arena. Bender provided Terao a spotlight, but the
atmosphere at the NCAA tournament in St. Louis on March 16 offered a new chance
to shine. Terao readied himself, shaking out his limbs, on Mat 8 as he prepared
for his second contest of the tournament and continued towards his goal of
becoming an All-American.

Samia Akbar graduated from AU in 2003, seven years before the School of International Service building became the modern AU landmark that it is today.

Midway through 285-pound junior Brett Dempsey’s wrestling match against Binghamton sophomore Connor Calkins, Sunday’s team dual looked to be close. Binghampton had captured a win in the 184-bout, and AU responded with a victory just one weight class up. Dempsey and Calkins were battling for team points as well as individual success at 285, and with less than two minutes to wrestle, the men were tied.

Keira Carlstrom D'Amato stood at home plate on a baseball field in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, preparing to defend her Patriot League cross country title in 2004. The field, she thought, was a strange place to warm-up for the 6k race that awaited her, but she followed her coach’s instructions anyway.
