I’m honored to be selected as a finalist alongside several incredibly talented journalists for the Student Sportswriting award.

My story, Part I of a series, focused on the history on acrobatics and tumbling through the eyes of coaches and athletes who created and innovated it.

@Kennay_Vuong18 @noahdarling_ @DailyEmerald Thanks for thinking of me!

This one on Oregon Friday starter Will Sanford has aged surprisingly well for my track record.

I had to wait a couple months for my first rain delay covering baseball in Oregon, but it’s only right that it came on a day that started with a blue sky!

Around that hour and 45 minutes, an insane Big Ten baseball game was played.

Oregon baseball upset No. 19 Nebraska in the midst of a rain delay and a career-high 12 strikeouts from starter Will Sanford.

The momentum behind Oregon club hockey right now is very exciting! This season will only become more valuable in retrospect as the club aims higher with its goals and fans show up accordingly.

The season is over for Oregon club hockey, which didn't make the national tournament but remains happy with a season of growth.
