deceiving.

Custodians do a lot of running around on campus, whether it’s to refill toilet paper rolls or vacuum carpets in residential halls.
But for Onnah Deuhs, all this running around is more than just part of the job — it’s training.

“The rivalry was already established,” Rehm said. “I had played for a few different teams so it didn’t affect me too much.”
