But, the All-American came up short in the finals, losing 5-4 to Penn’s Cesar Grajales. “Sometimes you have to face hurdles,” O’Connor said. “But my goal is still the same...

Shouldn't they use that time to get a head start on problem sets instead of slogging through practice after pulling all-nighters? "I have often asked myself that question," says Yang Hai, a 6-ft., 140-lb. (1.83 m, 63.5 kg) bench player. "I'm not that good. The team's not that good. What am I doing here...
