🎥 BAYLOR+: THE PERFECT 10

Coming this June, Baylor+ brings you along for the ride with
a brand new documentary, "Perfect 10: Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling".

"Perfect 10: Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling" is an all-access, feature-length documentary following the Baylor University Acrobatics & Tumbling team on their pursuit of a 10th consecutive NCATA National Championship. The film immerses viewers in the student-athletes' rigorous training, weightlifting sessions, and the emotional highs and lows of their journey toward greatness.

Through exclusive interviews and authentic moments, "Perfect 10" captures the dedication, resilience, and camaraderie of these student-athletes as they push to defend their legacy and make history.

🎥 BAYLOR+: THE SIC ‘EM POD

The Baylor women’s tennis team is headed back to
the NCAA Tournament after a stellar spring season, which included a
top-25 ranking for much of the year.

Helping lead the Bears has been new transfer Kennedy Gibbs, a Texas native who returned to her home state after spending her first two collegiate seasons at Purdue.

This week, Kennedy stopped by the Sic ‘Em Pod to talk about her journey and what
it means to be a part of the Baylor program.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Let’s Dance. Now, the party really begins.

On Monday night, the Baylor tennis squads learned their NCAA Tournament fate with both the men’s and women’s teams staying in Texas for the opening rounds.

The men return to the postseason yet again and will head to College Station to take on Nebraska in the first round. The winner of that matchup will take on the winner of Texas A&M and Rice for the right to advance to the Super Regionals.

On the women’s side, the Bears will head to Austin to take on Boise State in the first round. The winner advances to take on either Texas or Grand Canyon.

🔼 Seeing Sundays. The dream of playing on NFL Sundays got a little closer for five Baylor alums this past weekend.

At the conclusion of the NFL Draft, Treven Ma’ae (Raiders), Garmon Randolph (Chargers), Monaray Baldwin (Dolphins), Hal Presley (Bills) and Matt Jones (Raiders) all inked free agent deals with organizations and will have a spot in upcoming training camps.

🔼 Livin’ A Dream. For decades, youth from around the Waco community have dreamed about scoring a touchdown for Baylor.

This past Saturday, hundreds of kids got to live that dream at the youth camp as part of the all new Baylor Blitz.

Not only did the kids get the experience of a lifetime, the Bears themselves took a few things from the campers, including maybe some new touchdown dances.

🔼 Awards Aplenty. A 10th straight NCATA National Championship. Nine individual titles. And that’s not all…..

The Baylor A&T squad brought home even more accolades this past weekend, including a sweep of every NCATA major national award.
 
Sophomore Payton Washington was named the NCATA DI Athlete of the Year. The NCATA DI Specialist of the Year is Jordan Gruendler, a senior. The NCATA DI Freshman of the Year award went to Leavy McDonald. 
 
Felecia Mulkey earned NCATA Coach of the Year after leading her Bears to their 10^th-straight NCATA title. It is Mulkey's second accolade while at Baylor.
 
Earning NCATA All-America were McDonald, sophomores Emily Bott and Washington, and Gruendler. It was the second All-America honor for both Gruendler and Washington and first for Bott and McDonald.
 
Gruendler was named to the NCATA All-Academic Team, her second time.
