With this past week’s theme being GC Pride, Her Campus Grinnell wanted to call attention to the unsung hero of the athletic community: Sylla Lowther. Always sporting some Grinnell College apparel, this magician with wraps and ice is responsible for making sure every athlete donning the Honor G is able to compete at their highest level.
Sylla’s degrees- Certified Athletic Training and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist- demonstrate her deep understanding of the intricacies of maintaining optimal physical health when competing at a collegiate level. She also also a caring and compassionate presence. Her long-term residence at Grinnell College has made her a staple in the Grinnell Community and admired and appreciated by athletes, coaches and Grinnellians, alike.
So this week, when you are wandering the halls of the bear- maybe procrastinating your lift, or trying to work out in preparation for 10/10, swing down to the training office and say hello… or if you are lucky (and very nice), she may even sing Jingle Bells for you.
