The Pack technically started spring practice on Saturday, Feb. 25. However, since there was a basketball game going on at the same time, the first opportunity for the media to observe a portion of practice came this past Tuesday.

Earlier, we had photos from the representatives of the classes of 2016 and 2017 (link). Here are some additional photos from The Wolfpacker photographer Ken Martin.
