Cadets honor POWs and MIAs
​Nov. 17, 2006


Heather came into this story not knowing much about the ROTC program on campus. In her interview, she learned more about the students in the program and about how they honor POWs and MIAs with their vigil around Veteran's Day.

Racquetball gains popularity
​Oct. 13, 2006


Sports come in many forms. Heather played with a racquet in high school, but on the tennis court. Racquetball, played indoors, is a skilled game and many students were starting to get involved.
​
Tommies gain momentum
​Oct. 19, 2007


This story came at a good time. When the football team won its only two games of the season. Heather wanted to recap the highlights halfway through the year. The players were all very good to talk to for the story.

Life spent on ice
​Nov. 14, 2008


Terry Skrypek has spent nearly his entire life as a part of hockey programs. From his youth playing days, to his current time as the head coach of the St. Thomas men's hockey team, Skrypek is a lifelong gamer.
​
Spiritual strikes, home runs for Molitor
​Dec. 12, 2008


Heather marks this story as a highlight in her young reporting career. Not only did she have the chance to interview former Major League Baseball star, and future Minnesota Twins manager, Paul Molitor, but this was her very last story during her time at The Aquin.
