Nonetheless, the reality is that it wasn't only you who became a part of Notre Dame when you enrolled for that first class. There was something more that happened.

Their participation in this place is wrapped up in yours; their membership in this family is wrapped up in you.

Inspired by the success of the men's boxing pro gram and espeeially the upcoming Bengal Bouts, the women have been excited with the progress they have made in their inaugural year. "We've achieved more than we ever expected. We started out two years ago with a proposal to get a women's boxing team and finally this past fall we were successful. It was a long process, but the benefits have been amazing," states club president Amy Frigon. The dub is the brainchild of Aimee Catrow. Catrow is a third year arehitecture major who is abroad in Home for the year. She will serve as next year's president. "Aimee is the real key in getting the women's boxing program going. She pushed for the idea and we convinced the University this year and needless to say, we were very excited," states Frigon. "Hight now. we are doing much more with Bengal Bouts than we did 50 years ago. We are getting more money to send to the The strong fight: little kids in Bengladcsh. Every little bit counts, and the last cou ple of years we have done very well," Frigon commented.

The sparring is optional but about 30 of fight. the women sparred. We paired up with friends to spar with so it was fun. while not being that competitive." stated Frigon. Other key members of the team include junior Carrie Flanagan, senior Laura Giuliani, and junior Nieole Torrado. They all serve together as the leaders of the club. "We get along real well. Everyone is motivated and enthusias tic, whkh helps get things done. We really enjoy boxing, which helps us get a lot aecomplished," stated Frigon. The dub is very demanding but the benefits are well worth the saerifke and hard work. Flanagan states, "Our turnout was far better than expected and from then on we have continued to improve as boxers. Through the program we have gotten in great shapn, while learning a new and exciting sport. The most rewarding benefit, however, has been being able to meet some dynamic, aggressive and athletic friends and teammates. The people arc what have made this pro gram so successful." In the future they hope to further establish the pro gram, maybe even sponsoring a tournament. "We hope to have a tournament someday. We still have a lot to learn but that would be great. Maybe we can be involved in a pre-fight before the Bengal Bouts."
