Weinberg sophomore Kahn Fukui was a lot more optimistic about his hurt ankle at 2 a.m.

Almost 15 hours later, the story is a little different.

“My ankle is hurting a lot more,” he said. “Through out the night my condition deteriorated. It got a lot worse than I expected.”

To combat his discomfort, Fukui said he’s been taking several breaks and icing his ankle a lot.

Balancing on his one crutch during a quieter moment during DM, Fukui reflected on how his injury might’ve actually left him better off than most.

“It’s a long marathon, but I have it easy compared to the other dancers,” he said.
