ocial media sites are continually taking over the world with their numerous updates, millions of users, and overwhelming success. From Facebook to Twitter, from Twitter to Instagram, our lives are consumed with hours spent on these networks. Many of us started out with Facebook (actually, MySpace but we won't talk about those days). Good ol' Facebook where you could post a status update, or a picture of your dog for the hundredth time.

This year marked the start of Greenville College's very first bass fishing team. I went looking for and found the team's President, David Weyers, and asked him a few questions about himself, bass fishing, the birth of GC's team, and what it's like being my roommate. Scroll for related media.

With summer creeping toward us, there are many things to be looking forward to. You know, those things you day-dream about all year in class when we should be listening to your prof?

The women’s tennis team at Greenville College (GC) is most known for its exciting trip they take during Spring Break to Hilton Head, SC. Sadly, that is just a small part of what the team does during their season. The tennis team has the unique opportunity to witness to their opponents in a more personal way than most sports teams according to coach Pam Craig. Tennis is also a sport that anyone can play at any age; it is one of the few sports that people can take with them throughout life. The GC tennis team even hosts a Homecoming tournament for alumni and current players.

It has been said, “A track meet is a lot like life.” You take the good. You take the bad. You take them both and there you have what happens over the course of a full day track meet.

In order to compete in the two-day competition, student-athletes had to meet qualifying marks in all individual events. The Panthers were represented by 41 qualifiers and relay entrants.
