Student-Athlete Spring Celebration

Regis held it's 2nd annual student-athlete award celebration last week. Teams and individuals were recognized for athletic and academic achievements. Erica Von Stein provided the following write-up for our blog.

"We had our all-athlete end of the year banquet last night April 4th at the Arvada Center. All Regis athletics team attended and it was great to have everyone in the same place at the same time. The event started off with a great dessert buffet and then on to the awards.

Our team earned recognition in the classroom with Kara Larson, Kellie Deremo, and Meghan Hollenga earning All-RMAC academic honors. On the court, we were represented by Brandi Collins and Kari Ameling making 3rd team All-RMAC and Tae'lor Purdy making 1st team.

Bri Simbeck and Kari were recognized as our two lone seniors who we will miss greatly. It was a great night to have our team together."

Spring is in the air...

...as well as some snow. Someone from out of town asked me if we were having unusual weather for this time of year. I replied that there is no such thing as an "unusual" spring in Colorado. We are truly blessed to live in an amazing and beautiful place.

Our team has enjoyed some time off and is now back at it. We are conditioning and working on our game. Everyone knows that players are made in the off-season and building a team happens during the season.

Coach Raunig and I had an amazing time at the Final 4 and the convention that was held here in town. The energy was great and we might have learned a thing or two, as well. We celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Title IX and the courageous people who fought for our inclusion all those years ago. It reminded me that we all have people in our lives to be thankful for.
