I’ve met people from the East Coast, Sweden, Germany, and the UK who watch the notorious race from behind their computer screens, and every year, thousands of fans congregate at the starting line. However, few could comprehend the amount of effort, money, and planning that comes before even getting to the weather-beaten, moose-infested, 1,000-mile trail. This year, I got a close glimpse of the Iditarod mania that happens before the race starts because my dad, Will Rhodes, is running it.</p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/community/behind-the-scenes-of-the-iditarod" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/community/uaf-volleyball-club-hosts-first-tournament-letter-from-the-club-officers" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg" data-image-dimensions="2208x1656" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="UAF Volleyball Club Hosts First Tournament: Letter from the Club Officers" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg" width="2208" height="1656" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)200vw,100vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6318d7641c199624396c32b4/1714239873357-ZGOOHV3N5M64ISQUC289/volley+3.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/community/category/%23UAF" class="blog-categories">#UAF</a><span class="blog-categories--comma">, </span> <a href="/community/category/%23Clubs" class="blog-categories">#Clubs</a><span class="blog-categories--comma">, </span> <a href="/community/category/%23Volleyball" class="blog-categories">#Volleyball</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">The Sun Star</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">4/27/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/community/category/%23UAF" class="blog-categories">#UAF</a><span class="blog-categories--comma">, </span> <a href="/community/category/%23Clubs" class="blog-categories">#Clubs</a><span class="blog-categories--comma">, </span> <a href="/community/category/%23Volleyball" class="blog-categories">#Volleyball</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">The Sun Star</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">4/27/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/community/uaf-volleyball-club-hosts-first-tournament-letter-from-the-club-officers" data-no-animation> UAF Volleyball Club Hosts First Tournament: Letter from the Club Officers </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p style="text-align:justify;white-space: normal !important;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">The UAF Volleyball Club Tournament went off without a hitch on Saturday, March 30th.
