Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins
Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.

By liana ockenhouse
Liana Ockenhouse is a senior majoring in English at Millersville University. She wrote a short play titled Grasping Lightning’s Arm that is written in Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem style and explores similar topics related to the societal pressures Black women face, including discussions on identity, spirituality, and generational trauma. The play was written for Liana’s African American Literature course, where her interest in the genre began. Going forward, she is hoping to use her creative writing projects to examine various societal issues and rhetoric, and publish more pieces in the future.
