🥇 GOLDEN MEMORY

We are less than a month away from the 2024 Olympics in Paris and there’s no better time to jump in the time machine to just eight years ago.

That’s when the Patriots enjoyed a truly golden summer as former Mason standout David Verburg became the first Mason alum to capture a gold medal at the Olympics.

Verburg was a member of the 4×400 relay that captured gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

🎥 ALL NEW: T-TIME

One of Mason’s biggest personalities is back behind the mic and giving us some behind-the-scenes of a recent trip to the Washington Mystics game with the gang.

Check out the latest edition of T’d Up with Tavi Habib.

🎥 CATCHIN’ UP WITH COACH

What’s Coach Skinn looking to build on this offseason? What did he learn in his first year at the helm.

Those questions and so much more are talked about in the latest sit down with Coach from The A10 Vault.

We like our Brew Hot ‘n’ Fresh. But we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

🔺 Putting With Purpose. This time of year, golf courses are filled with wannabes trying to make the next Instagram highlight.

Recently, Mason grad and student-athlete Nikita Gubenko took the course for a much bigger purposes.

Gubenko, a first-generation American with deep family ties to Ukraine, participated in the Ukraine Veterans Charity Golf Tournament on June 7 held at Andrew's AFB Golf Course in Maryland.
 
The tournament featured U.S. General David Petraeus as the Keynote Speaker at the Gala and Awards dinner. A delegation from Ukraine's parliament and government attended along with some of Ukraine's war heroes. All the proceeds benefitted Ukraine's History and Veterans organization.

Gubenko had the privilege to play with two courageous veterans from different wars: a United States Veteran who fought in Iraq back in 2007, and a combat medic at the front line in Ukraine.
 
"It was such an incredible experience to hear the stories of veterans who have fought in battle and sacrificed almost everything in their lives," said Gubenko.
