In this episode of the Vikings Press Pass, I sit down with Kade Ariano, student manager for the Men’s Basketball team. We talk about his journey to the role, his daily responsibilities, and balancing academics and athletics. Kade shares memorable moments with the team, insights from his internship with the Quad Cities River Bandits MiLB this past summer, his passion for kinesiology and physical therapy, and how his drive for excellence is really modeled after his older brother who is currently at Duke.

Coach Delp had high praise for Kade—and after this conversation, it’s easy to see why. Tune in!
