Winner, twice...

The Brothers Rybinski are all smiles, once...

... over! Steds is a hall of winners, and so, it comes as no surprise that one of our very own is not just a winner but a winner twice over! Kevin Rybinski, Steds Senior, 4th floor RA, member of ND Cheerleading,  twin brother of Thomas Rybinksi (1st floor RA), and resident Marylander, recently won once and then again, all in quick succession. And thankfully, it did not all go to his head! First, Rybinski was notified via email, received in the Steds Flounge, that he had secured his place in the cheer squad. Indeed, twin brother, Thomas, and all of us for that matter, breathed a sigh of relief. Next, Rybinksi entered the Steds Labor Day Putt Putt Classic, where throwing women into the air and yelling through a megaphone led to having an edge in sinking putts on tricky, unpredictable greens. In the Rybinski won the Classic with a score of 34, two under par! 

On his first win, Rybinski shared, "Returning for my second year on the Notre Dame cheer team is such an honor and privilege. Being part of the game-day experience and cheering on the boys is truly amazing. This past year has taught me so many valuable life lessons—and some fun skills too, like how to do a backflip! I’m pumped for another year of cheering, growth, and unforgettable memories. GIRISH!"

While on his second win, Rybinski declared, "The Steds Labor Day Putt Putt Classic (SLDPPC)  is the premier golf tourney in all of Indiana, bringing Stedsmen together to embrace the spirit of competition and build camaraderie. Huge thanks to my grandpa—those years of mini golf training paid off and helped me card the winning score of two under. Another great year in the books at the SLDPPC. Now, where's my green jacket?"
