Because Wednesday's forecast indicates that we'll have temps in the mid-90's with heat indexes around 100 degrees, all OUTDOOR practices for tomorrow are canceled. Please keep cool and hydrated! There is an end in sight! The heat wave breaks for us starting Thursday! #soct

In addition to joyful moments that happened during sports competition at Summer Games, there were also joyful moments happening at our Healthy Athletes® Village! That's where athletes received free prescription eyeglasses through our Healthy Athletes® Opening Eyes initiative!
