We have a few great stories from the bullpen in this week’s Rouser, so make sure to check out and see what Regan thinks the Gophers football season will look like and see the improvement Ali Weimer made since her freshman year in Megan’s latest story!

Ali Weimer has her best track and field year yet
by Megan Davis | Published June 30, 2025
Throughout the 2024-25 school year, Ali Weimer participated in five different championship meets, but the beginning of summer may have been the most unforgettable.
The distance runner graduated with high distinction, earning her Bachelor of Science in Sociology, and then broke her school record a month later at the NCAA Championships.
