Hey Athletic Fans,

Meanwhile, Usain Bolt is using his platform to push a major awareness campaign, while organizers face backlash, forcing a public apology just days before competition.

Read the full story and the rest of tonight’s biggest athletics headlines below.

⚡Why this matters: The men’s team had athletes named to First Team All-America while the women’s team won their fifth straight conference title.



Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
