📈 STOCK UP

🔼 One Giant Leap. We’re flippin’ out around here with the news that broke late last week in the world of Acrobatics & Tumbling.

Last Thursday, the NCAA announced that the Committee on Women's Athletics voted to recommend that all three divisions sponsor legislation to establish a National Collegiate Championship for Acrobatics & Tumbling.

The recommendation is contingent on official confirmation of the sport's sponsorship at the NCAA Convention in January 2026, along with participation numbers for the spring of 2025 being analyzed which will occur this summer.

If legislation passes, the inaugural NCAA Championship for Acrobatics & Tumbling could take place in spring 2027.

The first six institutions of the NCATA – Azusa Pacific, Baylor, Fairmont State, Maryland, Oregon and Quinnipiac – began to offer the sport in 2009, with the first meet held in February 2010. The first NCATA Championship was held in 2011 at Oregon.

🔼 New Place, Same Result. Former Bear DiJonai Carrington may be wearing different threads, but that doesn’t change her game.

In the season opener for her new squad, the Dallas Wings, Carrington poured in 15 points, grabbed three boards, one assist and one steal against the Minnesota Lynx on Friday night.

She is playing alongside former Baylor teammmate NaLyssa Smith, who is also in her first season with the Wings.

🎥 BAYLOR+: SENIOR SALUTE

The Baylor baseball squad has reached new heights in 2025 and a big part of that success is a senior class that helped rebuild the foundation of the program.
