In this episode of the Siefer’s Scoop podcast, I explore how Middlebury student-athletes have engaged in political activism this semester. I interview a host of athletes and coaches to learn about how our sports teams are fulfilling their civic duties, whether it be registering to vote or calling representatives to ensure justice for Breonna Taylor.
The podcast features Brinlea La Barge ’23, a member of women’s tennis; Beatrice Donavan ‘23, a member of women’s soccer; Charles Roselle ’21, a member of men’s football and lacrosse; Courtney Gantt ’22, a member of women’s swim and dive; Bob Rueppel, head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming programs; and Erin Quinn, Middlebury Athletic Director.
Editor’s note: Brinlea La Barge is a sports editor at The Campus.
