Monday was Endurance Aiyamenkhue’s day to offer his stories of what he experienced in Lithuania. He details the Wildcats’ meeting with the legendary Arydas Sobonis after the team traveled 3.5 hours across the country to Palenga, They practiced and took in the Baltic Sea. An excerpt from Aiyamenkhue’s blog: “The first few days of this trip have been really amazing, but the highlight for me has been being able to dig into the culture of Lithuania and learn about the history. I truly didn’t have much knowledge of it prior to this trip, these are things that I will take with me for life. I’m sure this week will start to include more preparation for the games that we have coming up and I know we all can’t wait for those!”
