Women's Cross Country

From Joplin, Missouri...Looks to me like this appearance in the NCAA National Tournament led to a 27th finish by the women, who won the NCAA Regional. Congratulations to all for a great season!

Cougar Soccer

So proud of our Lady Cougars for battling the #1 team in the nation for 110 minutes before dropping their 3rd Round NCAA Match 6-5 in penalty kicks. The ladies had an outstanding season and while this was a heart breaker, I know they will be ready to launch the 2013 Season soon.

Proud of our Men's Cross Country team finishes in Top 25 in the Nation!

CSU Wind Orchestra

Conductor Jamie Nix and graduate conductors Joshua Kearney and Jeffrey Lawson directed a truly wonderful performance by our Wind Orchestra at Legacy Hall. The 5 pieces were exceptional and the almost 60 students performing provided a packed house with a most impressive performance.

Amadeus

Lauren and I were enthralled at the professionalism, direction and performance at our Riverside Theater performance of Amadeus. The students were exceptional and the standing ovation clearly reinforced the appreciation of the audience for the acting, directing, costumes and scenery. Kudos to Salieri, Mozart and cast for a job very well done.

Cheer for our student-athletes Sunday

Lauren and I had the opportunity to watch the CSU Lady Cougars soccer team play in the Peach Belt Conference Championship at Blanchard Woods Complex in Augusta.

The team played great but lost 2-0 to the currently ranked No. 1 team in the country. Because of a great season though, CSU will host the NCAA Regional Tournament this weekend at CSU's Walden Soccer Complex.

Our ladies earned a bye in the first round and will play in Round 2 at 1 p.m. Sunday. Come cheer them on!
