Hello Rambler fans, and happy holidays! The 2013 school year is coming to a close here at Loyola University Chicago. This week is the dreaded "finals week" where our knowledge, retention rate and overall motivation is tested. But amongst the studying, paper writing and coffee chugging, we also had the opportunity to lace up the spikes and run our first official meet of the year! Last Friday we ventured up north to Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan for the annual Laker Early Bird Invitational.
