In the last week of June, former RHS coach and Caldwell native Lewis Edmonson was named as an inductee for the Prairie View A&M University Sports Hall of Fame.

More than 40 student athletes came out last week for Rockdale soccer camp, where RHS coaches Gilberto Rodriguez and Shirley Lozano taught area kids basic soccer skills.

Going clockwise, starting in the top left corner: Kylie Reynolds, Harlo Mankin, Wyatt Glass and Milam Giles escape the heat by swimming some laps during the Wake Aquatics Swim-A-Thon, an event that took place at Veterans Memorial Park this past Saturday in Rockdale. Members of the Rockdale-based swim club hopped in the pool to help raise money for future competitions and amenities needed to help improve their program. Wake member Emma Blackwell led the way with 250 laps, which covers a distance of more than three miles. The team competes next on Saturday at the TAAF Regional Qualifier Meet in Bryan. Last season, the crew had 19 members qualify for the state competition. Reporter/Wynton Thomason
