According to Jin Inskeep, club sponsor and Athletics Director, the Senior Roundtable will have its last meetings with next year’s fall sports athletes on April 25 and 27 during SRT.
Since this group of Senior Roundtable members are preparing for their season next fall, there will be a follow-up meeting with these same members in August during the start of the new school year, Inskeep said. Otherwise, this group and subsequent groups will follow the same curriculum that Senior Roundtable members are guided through each season.
Inskeep said he enjoyed working with this year’s Senior Roundtable members.
“(They were just a) great group of students to work with. They care a lot about the programs we have here, and they do their best to represent us,” Inskeep said.
Roma Sarapin, previous Senior Roundtable member and swimmer, said the program changed the way he views his leadership role in sports.
“It opened my eyes to the responsibility that I have to accept, and it also helped me get ideas for dealing with certain situations on the team,” Sarapin said.
