My Experience with RSS Feeds

Hello everyone!

I found it very interesting completing the feedly activity this week using an RSS feeds of which I did not know that they existed. When I was searching through the most popular stories in my feedly today, I found an article of interest that is a news article from The Brock News. The article is titled 'Ontario women's basketball championship trophy to be named in honour of Brock's Critelli.

As many of you may already know, Chris Critelli is the Assistant Athletic Director at Brock University. She is the only player in basketball history to have won an NCAA and a CIS championship. For those who do not know intercollegiate athletics very well, this means that she won a championship with a University in the United States and with a University in Canada. She also went to the Olympics for basketball. This article was quite interesting to me because I was at the presentation before the game when the trophy was renamed to honour Chris Critelli and her excellence in basketball. I am also a member of the Women's Volleyball team at Brock therefore, I see all of the hard work that she does in Athletics now that she is a retired athlete.

It is interesting that this came up first in my feed as it was something that was of most interest to me because I was very knowledgeable about the topic of the news article. This news article also helps Brock University to become more patriotic and proud to be a badger when a member of our Athletics Department is recognized like this.
