Episode 20! Where has the time gone!? On this special episode, we bring back a couple alumni from the Vikes Golf Team. Brynn and Bruce Tomie, another all star pair of siblings, used to run the tracks here in Victoria during their Vikes day. No, not the rubber tracks, we're talking about the tracks with tee boxes, fairways and putting greens. These East coasters were a blast to chat with and reminisce on some great stories about crashing golf carts, long drive contests and so much more.

On this episode of Give & Go Vikes, we speak with Sasha Guedes & Brooke Bazian from the Women's Rugby program. Both Sasha & Brooke grew up off the island, so we get into the draw of playing rugby in Victoria and how their aspirations to play with Team Canada contributed to their decision to commit to the Vikes. If you're looking for insight into why Vikes Women's Rugby has been especially dominant over the last 5 years, particularly in 7s, look no further! You'll learn all that and more by tuning into this episode. However, the most valuable piece of advice that we got from Sasha & Brooke, is that if you need to fire up the squad, sometimes you just have to break it down and bust a move!

The man so nice, we had to have him on TWICE. Grant Sitton, alumni of the Men's Basketball program, is back on the podcast and we couldn't be happier. In part 1, Grant shed some light on his early days as a young hooper and recapped his time with the Vikes (check that episode out if you haven't yet!). On this episode, Grant takes us overseas to talk about his professional career in Europe and what the basketball scene is like in Slovakia, Germany and The Netherlands. We also get into NBA picks, memorable throw-downs and Grant's ability to bust a move on another kind of floor... the dancefloor. We want to extend a special thanks to Grant for coming back on the podcast. Will there be a three-peat? Only time will tell.

This episode needs barely any description. Larissa McKinlay, a dear friend of the show and former Vikes Women's Rowing Captain, solidified to us why she is one of the most likable athletes to sport the blue and gold. It's always a treat to host a superfan on the pod, but the Vikes legend they call Larry stole the show with witty comebacks and her hilarious sense of humour. This is an episode that will go down in Give & Go Vikes history. Enjoy!

In this episode, we also invited James and Mostyn into the Take Zone, where they could sound off and share their hot takes on some spicy topics. Sit back and buckle up, you'll need a seat belt for this one!
