🔼 Tourney Time. For the first time since 2022, the Baylor baseball program is headed back to the Big 12 Championship.

The Bears will be the #10 seed in this week’s tournament at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

BU will face No. 7-seed Oklahoma State (27-22, 15-12) at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, with the winner advancing to face No. 2-seed Kansas (42-14, 20-10) in the quarterfinals on Thursday, May 22, at 4 p.m. Both games will be televised on ESPNU and available via ESPN+.

🔼 There They Go Again. The Bears put on quite a show yet again at the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

The stars did their thing with Nathaniel Ezekiel and Alexis Brown stealing the show throughout the weekend, while Molly Haywood went back-to-back in the pole vault for the Bears.

🔼 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.

Devin Badenhorst (men’s tennis), Jordan Gruendler (acrobatics & tumbling), Sean Thompkins (football) and Lillianna Ifft (track & field) have been selected as the Student-Athlete Center for Excellence (SACE) April Champions of the Month.
