Today’s Close-up

Photo of Laith Hijazi (CGS'21) with his lips pursed as he stretched back to throw a water polo ball to one of his teammates on his club team at FitRec January 21. A huge splash of water is seen to his right and behind him, and the red and white floating lane dividers of the pool are seen in the background.

Back in the Saddle (er, Water)

When club sports started back up at FitRec last month, there was much rejoicing. Although water polo club members are mask-free in the water, members, among them Laith Hijazi (CGS’21), follow University-approved health and safety protocols, including distancing in the water during practice.
