🔺 Building Champions. Each month, the Student-Athlete Center for Excellence selects four champions of the month.

This award recognizes student-athletes who achieve their personal bests in the areas of academic achievement, athletic success, character formation and spiritual growth. 
 
Each of these student-athletes was nominated by a SACE team member based upon their embodiment of each of the four pillars.

Riley Chimwala (Acrobatics & Tumbling), Yves Missi (men’s basketball), Kyla Abraham (women’s basketball) and Jadon Porter (football) have been selected as the May Champions of the Month.

🎙 SIC ‘EM POD: COLE POSEY

On this week’s episode we get to know Baylor Baseball’s Cole Posey,
a fifth year senior from Georgetown, Texas. 

Growing up in a Baylor family, Cole was a huge fan of the Bears,
and always dreamed of suiting up for them one day. And after
a few stops around the country, that dream came true 2 years ago. 

In his final year, the do-it-all first baseman played some of the best ball of his career, while also pursuing some big dreams away from the diamond.
