If you have never had the privilege of being injured or filling out a program inquiry form in the Athletic Center, than maybe these interview will compel you to do one or the other. Although maybe not the injury one.
The “Sports Performance Team” as they have dubbed themselves consists of five of the funniest, coolest, and most caring people on this campus.
Mrs. Parker, or Kate as she is commonly called by her proteges, has been with Deerfield for, “too long,” as she would say.
Mrs. Parker may be found staring down students caught running on her treadmill or “pew, pewing” students with a crutch.
Mr. Graves, or Mr. Graves as he is referred to, runs the training room and is known around campus for his cunning humor.
Ms. Biscottini (said no one ever), or Gabi, is excited to be featured in the Scroll for a fourth time during her four years at DA. Gabi can be found interviewing for the Scroll, her favorite pastime, or teaching spin class.
Mr. Tamburro (said no one ever), or Ronnie, struggled to find the time for this interview as he was far too busy designing instagram posts on how to gain weight. Ronnie, along with 78% of the student body, prefers Reese’s over Peanut Butter M&M’s and is ardently opposed to Taylor Swift, except for Blank Space, which is, “a banger.”
Ms. Theriault, or Emma, is often overshadowed by the far cuter, mini version of herself and can be found giving Fitness Center orientations to nervous ninth-grade boys.
For the first time in Scroll history, 90 Seconds With has been conducted in 90 seconds.
Yes, we timed them. Yes, they will attest. Enjoy!
