![one of my ideas was to make it My Little Pony themed [because] in beats we have four groups and they all produce work different weeks, so we split them into groups. And last year it was Minion-themed, so in my presentation, I wanted to have a little fun thing, so I was just like, ‘Oh, we should do a My Little Pony theme.’ And then, you know, we turned it into the theme of the year. And now we have four groups. We have team Twilight Sparkle. We have team Princess Cadence– is she a princess? Guys, I need to know my My Little Pony better. And then we have team Princess Celestia and team Princess Luna.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Thomas-podcast-photo-1200x900.jpeg)

![HANDS, FEET AND MIND READY. "I get inspired by just how far I've come. Due to past injuries like knee arthritis, it was a struggle to even move my body and stuff. [After recovery,] it’s almost like ‘Okay, you actually can move your body now. Let's move it.’ So being able to build up my strength again motivates me," senior Delaney Devine said. Devine is in another injury at the moment, but she hope to get back into boxing once she recovers.
