🔼 Senior Salutin’. After joining the 30+ win club this week, the Baylor baseball team is back at home looking to keep the momentum going into a huge Big 12 series.

With two regular season series left, the Bears are looking to lock in a spot in the Big 12 Tournament later this month when the Cowboys of Oklahoma State visit Waco for a three-game set beginning tomorrow.

🔼 Not Going Anyway. Baylor track & field star and senior Nathaniel Ezekiel remains among the elite for the fourth consecutive update to The Bowerman Watch List.  
 
The Bowerman—collegiate track and field's version of the Heisman Trophy—began in 2009 and is presented each year to the nation's most outstanding male and female athletes. The trophy is named after famed Oregon head coach Bill Bowerman. 
 
Ezekiel has had an outstanding 2025 indoor and outdoor season thus far. Concluding the outdoor regular season, Ezekiel has finished first in every event he's competed in with the 400m, 400 hurdles and the 4x400 relay.

🔼 Earning Their (Stars &) Stripes. A pair of former Bears are earning their stripes this summer with Team USA.

On Thursday, former volleyball standouts Avery Skinner and Lauren Briseño were both named to the Volleyball Nationals League wide roster for Team USA for this summer.

The squad will have a stop in Arlington, Texas this summer from July 9-13.

The VNL brings together the world’s top 18 teams for three action-packed weeks of preliminary play, with each team competing in four matches per week. Only the top eight teams will earn a spot in the Final Round, where a VNL title will be on the line.
