Senior column: Student-athletes should mourn but be grateful for the connections they made along the way

I was extremely lucky that I got to finish my senior season as a swimmer a week and a half before the cancellations of professional and collegiate sports.

However, for many student-athletes across the United States, losing the end of your senior season can feel as devastating as losing a loved one.
