Syracuse athletes marched together through the wind and snow on Wednesday with one message: Black athletes’ lives matter.
Teams walked together from the Skytop parking lot to Coyne Stadium in groups ranging from five softball players to nearly 20 track and field members. They wore black shirts that said “One Orange.” Some groups brought signs in support of the march.
“Wlax stands for equality, justice.” “Men’s rowing: equality and justice for ALL #BLM.”
In partnership with the Diversity and Inclusion Student-Athlete Board and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, more than 100 SU athletes gathered in three waves on Wednesday to march for equality in athletics for Black athletes, administrators, coaches and students at SU and around the country.

Once again it was Amanda Vestri who stole the show as she won the 10k at Virginia in a time of 32:43 which set a new meet and facility record. Vestri’s time is currently the 3rd fastest in the country in the event and will qualify her for the NCAA Eastern Regional meet.

Ennis students with passion for fashion in finals of Junk Kouture
December 13, 2020
ENNIS students with a passion for fashion have made it to the finals of a nationwide competition where their stylish looks will be judged by celebrities Michelle Visage and Louis Walsh.
Rice College fifth year students Carla Griffin, Eunice Boateng and Caitlin Mc Allister will be taking part in the Junk Kouture 2020 grand final, which will be broadcast on the RTÉ Player this month.
Their entry is titled ‘Do Your Own Sting’ and has been inspired by bees. Their art teacher Lorraine Hogan explains, “They used a variety of recycled materials to make it, the skirt is inspired by a beehive and hundreds of cardboard hexagon shapes. Plastic cups were used to construct it. The bodice is woven using the core of toilet rolls and beautiful handmade flowers were fashioned from food wrapping. Real beeswax was used in the beautiful headpiece.”
