Student-Athlete Day is a day designated to honor collegiate student-athletes across the country, but Auburn University athletes decided to make it about much younger students.
Sixth graders from Drake Middle School are invited to participate in a Sports and Science camp hosted by Auburn’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee. Along with the kinesiology department, participating athletes showed the students from Drake what goes into being a student athlete with demos of how the body moves, how to prepare for games and relay races.
“It’s just a chance to hang out with them and show them what it’s really like to do what we do every day,” senior gymnast and SAAC president Kullen Hlawek said.
