@SOURaiders @SOUTrackXC

Going into Nationals (this weekend), NAIA leaders in each outdoor track and field event can be viewed here. As you can see, Markus Sanders has the third-longest throw in the country in the hammer this season. Last year he came in seventh in this event.

As a freshman in the CCC Championships, Hayden set a new PR in the long jump to go along with a second place finish in the 100 meter dash.

SOU football’s Dylan Young @ Ashland High School (September 2014 victory over the Carroll College Fighting Saints)

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @DY_Lee11 @CoachBrown_SOU

You would think a team called the “Fighting Saints” would be penalized more often for pass interference.

SOU football – Keegan Lawrence

@SOU_Football @SOURaiders @k_law21

With an average of 7 yards per carry during his freshman season last year, what will Keegan do for an encore during his sophomore season this fall?

BTW, Southern Oregon is #1 in the nation in the Director’s Cup which looks at a school’s entire athletic program. Full standings can be seen here.

SOU football – Joseph Lealofi

@SOU_Football @SOURaiders

The Raiders won their 9th game of the season, tying their previous record of most wins. They still have a regular-season game to go (and hopefully four post-season games after that). Lealofi picked up a fumble and ran with it for a touchdown in today’s victory.
