Good Morning Baylor Fam. No place better to chase dreams than the land of Dorothy and Toto, right?

That’s exactly what the Baylor track & field squads will be doing for the next few days.

What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

🎥 BAYLOR+: THE POWER OF FAMILY

You wanna know the power of the Baylor Family?

Look no further than the latest episode of the Sic ‘Em Pod with men’s tennis
standout Devin Badenhorst as he talks about the tragedy that struck his family
and how he has used the Baylor Family to help get him through.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Lace ‘Em Up. All the extra workouts. All the early morning sessions. All those deposits are made for these moments.

This weekend, the Baylor track & field squads lace them up alongside 15 other Big 12 schools at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kansas.

BU will look to earn its first Big 12 Championship team title in program history for the men and women. The men took the Southwest title in 1963.

🔼 Let’s Lock It Up. One win.

That’s all that separates the Baylor baseball squad from securing a spot in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament in Arlington.

Today, the Bears kick off a three-game set in Orlando against UCF, one of the two teams (along with BYU) who are three games back of Baylor.

Currently, BU sits 11th with the top 12 teams in the league punching their ticket to the postseason.

🔼 Welcome To The Fam. Three new faces are officially members of the Baylor family.

On Wednesday, the Bears football program announced the signing of Louis Brown IV (WR from San Diego State), KJ Makins (CB from Houston Christian) and Alessandro Lorenzetti (DL from Michigan) as the latest three additions from the transfer portal.

🔼 Taking Center Stage. So many times as a young golfer, Johnny Keefer dreamed of teeing it up at a major.

This afternoon in Charlotte, N.C., the former Baylor standout and one of the best players in program history will achieve that dream as he is set to tee off at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club.

Keefer is set to tee off at 2:37, alongside Kevin Yu and Larkin Gross.

🎥 BAYLOR+: NERVES OF STEEL

“I’ve never seen someone with so much passion. She’s the first to start and
last to stop. It’s crazy to think she has a rod in her back…. She’s a star”

Yes, yes she is.

in The Perfect 10 film coming this June to Baylor+.
