The Oracle: What does the Sports Commissioner do?

Riley Weinmann: It's a part of Student Executive Council and I help publicize the sports teams by doing rallies. I try to link the sports teams with the student body. I also keep the student body updated on the sports.

TO: What do you plan to do differently than past Sports Commissioners?

RW: Well, I don't really know. I know Rachael [Fleischmann] made a lot of changes to the position. Before it was just sort of "support Gunn, beat Paly" but she made a budget for each sport and I want to continue that.

TO: How do you think the new facilities will impact this year's sports season?

RW: It will be great to finally have some water polo and swimming home meets and games. Also in the last two years we have gone from having one of the worst athletic complexes in the area to one of, if not, the best.

TO: What are some of your goals as Sports Commissioner?

RW: My goal as Sports Commissioner is to help get the student body to support the sports teams. I want to make this an enjoyable year for everyone.

TO: What is your part in planning the rallies?

RW: I planned half of the rally you saw on Friday, but they're not all going to be by the pool. A lot of people have been upset that the only sports that get rallies are football and basketball so I'm trying to help change that. We're going to have a fall sports rally, a winter sports rally and a spring sports rally so everyone who plays sports can get a rally.

TO: How much for Sports Commissioner do you do outside of school?

RW: Depending on what is coming up, I work a couple hours a week, probably a lot more once stuff gets going.

TO: Do the Spirit and Sports Commissioners work closely together?

RW: Yeah, Maayan [Dembo] and I work together a lot.
