Rebecca Wilson THE DAILY GAMECOCK

USC students raised more than $35,000 by staying up all night Friday in Relay For Life: a 12-hour walk-a- thon to raise money for the American Cancer Society, a member of the executive committee said. Gwyn Pauley, a third-year math student and part of Relay for Life’s executive committee, said the final total hasn’t been announced yet. From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., teams lapped the track at Blatt Field, but the event started months in advance as leaders organized teams and planned fundraisers that included poster- making, sheet-stamping and cake-baking. The Survivors Lap kicked off the event with a lap by cancer survivors. People cheered as survivors took their lap around the course. This was followed by the Luminary Ceremony, a key part of the relay. Each team all photos by Rebecca Wilson / THE DAILY GAMECOCK raised money for luminaries, To remember deceased cancer victims or those with the disease, participants decorated luminaries, which were lit in a dusk ceremony. paper bags decorated with the names of those who and singers to entertain on-site fundraiser.

He also said the play of cornerback Stoney Woodson has been the most impressive for the defense this spring. “He’s improved a lot to me,” Norwood, who had two tackles behind the line of scrimmage for a total loss of 10 yards, said. “He brings experience and play-making ability, and all of our guys have that, but he’s the one that showed it the most.” As for the defense as a whole, Norwood knows that there is still room for improvement. “We’re coming around and we’re going to get to where we need to be.” Comments on this story?
