John Cook has been the head volleyball coach at Nebraska for 23 years.
He has won 4 national titles, made 22 NCAA Regionals, and won 650+ matches.
Yet, he’s probably never done the Tunnel Walk.
And the smile on his face shows how special tonight is.
Potosi Emily Bierman set a WBCA All-Star Game fundraising record of over $37,000 in honor of her cousin Sydney who was diagnosed with brain cancer this year. Emily presented a check to Garding Against Cancer along with her cousin Sydney and WBCA Executive Director Jerry Petitgoue

🚨SCHOOL RECORD!!!!🚨
Will Lawrence breaks his own school record in the javelin tonight at the @uwplatteville Invite!!! The throw of 66.17m (217’1”) currently sits 2nd in the nation in @NCAADIII and breaks a facility record 11 years to the day! #SwingTheAxe@UWPlattTrackXC
I applaud anyone that is all in. The kids that take every ounce of knowledge from every coach available. The ones that understand there is something to gain from the ones that have been there before you. The ones that know you can be selfish for yourself and also selfless for your team. The ones that show up everyday knowing they may not get to ever run out of a tunnel for their team.
I applaud the ones that give everything to something that is not guaranteed.
I held this picture back until today. Pain can be one of the biggest motivators.
I know a lot of these young men are feeling some sort of pain today- and it takes an immense amount of courage to say I’ll get back at it tomorrow and do it all over again for another chance next year.
As hard as it is to look at, this is a picture that says more than I could ever describe.

We all know nationals meets aren’t decided by entries.
