The thought of polo might evoke images of swimmers grasping desperately for a ball, thrashing around in a large indoor pool. However, for Reagan Barron, the sport of polo is much, much different.
Barron serves as the president of UI’s polo club, and not the water kind. Barron and his fellow teammates spend their days out in Troy, galloping across an arena on horseback, swinging large wooden mallets in attempt to score.
“I often find it difficult to describe polo to beginners because it is so different than all other sports. It is one of those games that you need to just see for yourself to understand,” he said.
