Alexa Gonzalez
@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball @A_Dirty3
Alexa Gonzalez’s three-run home run and go-ahead two-run single, propelling SOU to a 7-5 victory Friday over #15 Concordia, earned her another Player of the Week award. She had a monster year as a junior for the Raiders. The season isn’t over quite yet. Southern Oregon begins the playoffs as the underdog this weekend in Klamath Falls and will be looking for some more upsets.
Jessie Rozario on her way to victory in the 1500 meter run
Congratulations to Aspen Abbott, Cheyenne Bricker, Caleb Diaz, Alyssa Fielding, Eric Ghelfi, Alexa Gonzalez, Emily Lamb, Rebecca Lupescu, Will Parke-Hoffman, Dylan Paulk, Anna Reitmann, Jessie Rozario, Matt Williams, and Sydney White for their academic accomplishments while representing SOU as an athlete. All of these scholar-athletes have a cumulative GPA over 3.2 and are at least sophomores.
Steeplechase (AKA Track Swimming)
Not much of a throwback Thursday today as this happened just last week. However, this photo is racking up favorites on Flickr at an unprecedented rate so I thought I would share it here too. Clearly the “agony of defeat” is more popular than the “thrill of victory.”
In fairness to this steeplechaser (who was not an SOU athlete BTW), although she had troubles with the water jump on every lap, she finished in the middle of the pack and was far from last place.
SOU was in second place when the baton was handed to Amelia Maguin for the anchor leg of the 4×100 relay.

Amelia Maguin broke the SOU record by .37 seconds in the 200 meters this past Saturday in Ashland. She also won the 100-meter hurdles and was on two winning relay teams (one pictured above). She opted not to compete in her best event (where she is ranked #1 in the entire NAIA with a time more than 2 seconds faster than anyone), the 400-meter hurdles, as there wasn’t any competition.
Snow on a green Grizzly
We had snow last week. Today we will be in the 80s. Welcome to spring in Ashland.

2015 SOU Open – Amelia Maguin and Lauren McGowne (100m hurdles)
@SOURaiders @SOUTrackXC @maguingirl1 @LMcGowne
Yesterday saw the return of track and field to Raider Stadium for the first time in five years. Details here. Despite being April, the weather felt like summer. You won’t have to wait long to get in on the next competition in Ashland as Southern Oregon will also host the Cascade Conference Championships on May 8 and 9.
