Gopher student-athletes led a lively “Q and A” with students at grades 3, 4 and 5 at the school
Farmington alumni and Gopher track/cross country athlete Kaitlin Mincke was one of the featured students.
Gopher student-athletes stressed the importance of balance between sports and school.
The gym at Meadowview is a also reminder to students of the benefits of living an active lifestyle.
Track athlete Kevin Bradley led an activity to show students how to take their pulse.
Students took a resting pulse and then later did 30 seconds of jumping jacks and checked it again.
Thanks to the University of Minnesota student-athletes for being a positive role model for Farmington students!
