It's been 2 1/2 months since the Tokyo Olympics were postponed until next year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So where do the games stand? So far, many ideas about how the Olympic can take place are being floated by the International Olympic Committee, Japanese officials and politicians, and in unsourced Japanese newspaper articles coming from local organizers and politicians. The focus is on soaring costs, fans, or no fans, possible quarantines for athletes, and cutting back to only “the essentials." (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong, File)

In what has been a year full of accolades for Trinity Thomas, she received two more Tuesday.

The Stephen C. O’Connell Center originally opened in 1980 and is named after the sixth president of UF. The building underwent a $64.5 million renovation in 2016. In the renovation, the entire interior area was demolished and rebuilt with the addition of a large hanging scoreboard and luxury suites.
