After almost two weeks of continuous sunshine, Iowa is finally seeing some rain. The corn fields are a rusty gold and the soybean fields are almost neon yellow. This is a beautiful time of year in the Midwest and on the Grinnell Campus.
Although I miss the foliage from the Northeast, the crisp evenings and clear air of Iowa in the fall is refreshing. As the fields yellow and the air cools I can feel myself becoming more focused and prepared for the season ahead. Fall marks the beginning of it all.
Our student-athletes are now all deep into their semester classes. Their daily routines are becoming steady as they get in the groove of classes, extracurricular activities, and daily captain's practices.
Our team has been dutifully working many home soccer and volleyball games. As line judges and ball carriers they are present at many sporting event and cheer on our fall sports teams. It is great to see them out supporting other Pioneers.
