After a year and a half of meetings, walk-throughs and zoom calls later β we have crowned an SEC Tournament champion! π π₯
Incredible amount of thanks and appreciation to these people on the media side for all their hard work and time to help me out over the last few weeks!
As special of a night that Iβve had in 16 years at UK Athletics.
Props to the @SEC staff for being willing to take on the risk of a conference volleyball tournament.
They ran the event like βit just meant moreβ β and all of us involved felt it.
Thankful for it all. GO CATSβΌοΈ
Highlight of #AO2025 so far was watching @UKMensTennis alum Gabriel Diallo win a 5-set, 4-hour marathon!
He took time after the match to sign every single autograph and every single photo with all the fansπ
Go Cats from Down Under!
Big opportunity vs Khanachov tomorrow.
I think it's important to give the AVCA committee credit here.
They clearly watched the matches in Nov/Dec, and after not being a semifinalist, they included Brooklyn on the finalist list - which the rules allow them to do.
SO happy for @BrooklynDeleye, who deserves it greatly!
We have over 40 credentialed media members for Friday night's NCAA Tournament return for @UKWomensSoccer headed by @UKCoachFabiano!
Palpable excitement for the Wildcats first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2014.
Kickoff set for 7pm ET at the Bell Soccer Complex on ESPN+.
Speaking of βoff the railsβ β¦
I was voted fourth-best on the bus in managing βcrisisβ situations.
@UKCoachHimes got #1. (Duh)
But most importantly, I was judged by the group to be ahead of @kswaggyyyy π
