Student-athletes Serena Henderson (cross-country and track & field), Hunter Shuey (baseball), and Olivia Gallagher (women's tennis) all had the same quote and it means something different to each of them: "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." - Martin Luther King Jr. SAAC President Excellanxt Greer describes what this quote means to her: "That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everyone blind. The time is always right to do the right thing." Men's golfer Andrew Graham explains what "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that."
