Are they coaches, or are they OMers? The answer is – both!

Lebanon High School in western Pennsylvania, we're joined by Nikki LaSota, Anna Mares, Natalie McGee, Melody Reynolds, Ruby ...

I was in the first episode (Pennsbury High School) and it was just as enjoyable to talk about my Odyssey experience as it was to hear from other OMers about theirs. A must-listen for all past, present, and future OMers and coaches!
