The Hens' sports teams had some highlights that made for memorable moments. Best ·temale athlete: . And while this section is created to reminisce about the positive_s of players, coaches and teams, we had to point out the poor play of certain teams. Highlights ranged from Tyresa Smith and Ben Patrick being drafted to the WNBA and NFL to women s basketball and mens lacrosse playing in NCAA Tournaments. Lowlights included the football teams first los- guard Tyresa Smith ing season since 2001 and a 5-26 record by mens basketball. . So with the end of the year and the summer months approaching, Delaware athletics will have three months to be praised or criticized until the 2007-08 season comes around.

Understanding and 9R~ATH ~ASY: managing your asthma

sthma is a condition with narrowing of the airways. There are several reasons that airways A become narrowed including from inflammation or in response to irritation. Narrowing of the airways can cause shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and noisy breathing called "wheezing." Some people only have minor symptoms such as t/06~ II F=ttl l.,.l ~e- a cough during exercise or when. it is cold outside. 1ftf~~ IS ,+rJ Asthma is treated with medications that decrease the inflammation and ti ghtness of the airways. Some people need to be on medications every day and some people only need medications when they exercise or go outside in the cold weather. Asthma can be worsened by triggers in the college environment. It might be helpful and healthful to consider the following suggestions: 1. Reassess what exposures may be triggering your breathing problem. Keep in mind that secondhand smoke may be a new or heightened trigger for you. Other triggers may include dust, pollen, mold, perfumes, exercise, or cold weather. Once you know your triggers, you should avoid them to decrease exacerbations of your asthma. 2. Remember to use your peak flow meter regularly and notify your doctor if your peak flow is decreasing. A decreasing peak flow may mean that you are about to have an asthma exacerbation. 3. Understand what your asthma medications are, how to use them, and what medica­ tions to take if you suddenly develop breathing difficulty. People with asthma must have an action plan to follow in case sudden breathing problems- - --- develop. The goal, however, is to recognize signs and symptoms early to avoid serious breathing problems. If you have questions about controlling your symptoms, developing an action plan, or how to use your medications properly, please contact student health for a consultation.
