The Sun Devil Caravan made its fourth stop of the tour in Flagstaff, Ariz. on Thursday, May 22. The stop was headlined by Vice President for University Athletics Ray Anderson, Sun Devil football head coach Todd Graham, new gymnastics coach René Lyst and soccer coach Kevin Boyd.
The group began the day with a Sparky’s Tour, a youth education assembly where Sun Devil student-athletes interact with children and teach the value of personal character and healthy living. The students at San Francisco de Asis School showed off their Sun Devil pride by wearing maroon and gold to school and had prepared special ASU cheers for the coaches and student-athletes.
