Vermont improves to 24-9 on the season and advances to the America East Championship Game for the sixth time in the last eight years. The Cats will host the Terriers who knocked off top seed Stony Brook in the first semifinal game, 70-63.
Today I participated in the Melbourne City Romp – a charity fundraising event tagged as “part treasure hunt, part ‘Amazing Race’ part puzzle”. As the red-wigged “The Whodunnits” (our team – consisting of my sister, my mum, two of my aunties, one of my cousins and I!), we trekked our way through Melbourne trying to get to as many of the 40 checkpoints as possible (which were only given through clues themselves) to complete puzzles and challenges! We had 4 hours to do as much as we could – and this is the result! For more info about the event, and why it was held – www.melbournecityromp.com You can still donate money to the Burnet Institute until Monday night by sponsoring our team through this link! Thanks to everyone who has already shown enormous generosity and given money towards the Institute’s cause www.melbournecityromp.com
