In a town full of Division I athletic talent, eighth grader Rhyan Loos is one of Columbia’s most well-known student-athletes.

Rhyan, a volleyball player as well as cross country manager at Our Lady of Lourdes Interparish School, will receive a standing ovation at halftime of Missouri men’s basketball’s penultimate home game against Ole Miss in the ninth Rally for Rhyan game.
