SOU football – Dylan Young
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @DY_Lee11
Although Dylan’s birthday is today, SOU’s all-time leader in TD receptions and single season reception yards is hoping for a present this weekend during the NFL draft or a subsequent free agent signing.

Day one of three of this massive tournament begins in Reno, Nevada in a few minutes. We are the #12 seed but hoping for a top ten performance.
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.

SOU softball – Alexa Gonzalez

Three wins in their final six games (all on the road) will lock up a playoff spot for the Raiders. (Three losses by the team trailing them will result in the same fate, but winning is better than hoping for someone else to lose.)
P.S. Willie Nelson is coming to Britt this summer.
T-Rex the film in Ashland’s Varsity 2
#AIFF15 @ashlandfilm @trexthefilm @BeccaSaladoff @caneparitilidie
I watched seven films at the 2015 Ashland Independent Film Festival last week. They were all good. I enjoyed them all and learned something from each. I don’t want to pick a favorite as that sort of implies that the others weren’t as good. However, T-Rex was absolutely one of my favorites. From the Q&A after the film showing it sounds like everyone will be able to enjoy this film on PBS next year. Don’t miss it.

P.S. Other favorites included Batkid and Kasamayaki.
