Shout Outs
By John Scognamiglio
In response to a plea from a former assistant sports editor, and my belief that not all sports revolve around basketball, here are some shout outs for you all.
Shout Out #1 : Ashley Colon
This past week, Ashley Colon won the weight throw event in the Augustana Open Invitational. Oh yeah, that was the third week in a row that she won that event. She is having one of those under the radar type seasons that would have taken notice if the men's basketball team wasn't 18-4.
Shout Out #2 : Bridgette Carpenter
Also at the same invitational, Carpenter set a new location record for the shot put and matched the NCAA Provisional mark set for the event. She may have the chance to go to the NCAA Indoor Track National Championship meet. Yet another thing that flies under the radar.
Shout Out #3 : Midyear Transfers
Within the past few weeks, the Bulldog women's basketball team and the volleyball team has added players from Division I schools. Lisa Weber joins the Elite Eight volleyball squad from Tennessee Martin. In high school, Weber was an All-Metro St. Louis caliber volleyball player from Westminster Christian. She's a 6'1 middle blocker that will look to contribute immediately next season. Sarah Gordon is a transfer from Tennessee Chattanooga. She was All-State Class 3 second team for Missouri her senior year, averaging 16.6 points and 14.8 rebounds.
Shout Out #4 : Swimming Team
The women's swimming team has already qualified 16 players for the national championship meet in Indianapolis. Headlining the field is senior Whitney Jensen who has qualified in eight events. The men's team has only qualified four swimmers so far, but there are a few meets left before the big one in Indy.
Shout Out #5 : Ross Houston
Yes, our former assistant sports editor gets a shout out. When he could be out living it up in swinging London town, showing people how to party the Chicago and Abercrombie way, does he? No, he still maintains the Bulldog sports fan and gets on here to keep posting and keeping us on our toes. Good for you Ross for sacrificing school and fun times to keep us one step ahead.
