ASK THE BADGERS
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Other than you, who is the best
athlete in your family?
MORGAN PAIGE // SENIOR // WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
"The best athlete in my family besides myself in my mother,
Sherryl. She played three sports in high school and basketball at Mount Mercy University. I would say my brother
(Marcus Paige, who plays basketball at North Carolina) but
he only played one sport. Multi-sport is the key here!"
AIDAN CAVALLINI // SENIOR // MEN'S HOCKEY
"Tough call. My mom ran track at York University in Toronto. She
was a middle-distance runner and also did cross country and
she still runs now. My dad played professional hockey. My earliest memories are of when he was in Europe, and that's where he
retired. That was really fun and I remember going into the locker
room with him and we would just shoot tape balls around and
stuff. I think that's what started my passion and love for the game."
ZACH BOHANNON // SENIOR // MEN'S BASKETBALL
"Best athlete? I'm going to have to say that it's a tossup. How
can you choose between my brothers, who have all or will
be starting in college basketball, or my dad, Gordie, who
started at quarterback in the Rose Bowl for Iowa?! It sure has
made for some competitive backyard games in my life!"
DOMINIQUE THOMPSON // JUNIOR // VOLLEYBALL
"I can't answer that question. It would get me in too much
trouble with my family since everyone is athletic. My dad (Donnell Thompson) played football in the NFL, my mom played
volleyball in college and my younger sister and brothers are all
great athletes as well. I don't want anyone to get mad at me so
I'm going to say they all are great athletes!"
