Kyudo: what you get when archery takes the scenic route
I apologize for the long delay, but I can assure you it has not been spent procrastinating. Instead I have been digging deep in the jungles of Peru, the shores of the Nile and the snow banks of Russia, all searching for a sport with that unique quality that makes it more obscure than the […]

At the Liberty League Championships this past Saturday and Sunday, Palladino helped lead UR to a No. 2 finish as he shot a combined six-under 138 throughout the two day competition.

A summer’s worth of sports stories
I’m not telling tales out of school when I say that football gives America a collective boner.
