🔼 Defending Our Crown. Tomorrow, the title defense begins.

The second-seeded OSU Cowgirl equestrian squad is in Fort Worth preparing to chase a fifth straight conference title when the Big 12 Championships kick off tomorrow morning at TCU.

OSU has won 10 straight overall Big 12 titles and is searching for their fifth straight when they take on third-seeded Baylor at 10 am for a right to ride in the championship match on Saturday.

🔼 Class Acts. There was plenty to celebrate on the court for OSU hoops this season.

But that’s not the only place the Pokes found success as a trio of OSU hoops stars were honored this week with spots on the CSC Academic All-District squads.

Anna Gret Asi and Macey Huard both were honored on the women’s side, while Patrick Suemnick earned recognition on the men’s side.

🔼 Among The Elite. It was a historic season for the OSU Cowgirl hoops program and even moreso, Oklahoma native Stailee Heard.

On Tuesday, Heard was recognized among the best in the country, being named one of 50 finalists for this season's 10-member Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NCAA Division I Coaches' All-America team.

The distinction adds to a list of honors on the year for the Cowgirl sophomore, who was named a first-team All-Big 12 selection and to the league's all-tournament team earlier this month. Additionally, Heard was named to the USBWA Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year Midseason Watch List.

Heard's 16.8 points per game rank 11^th among players in the Big 12 and her 8.2 rebounds per game is the fourth-best average in the league.

After tallying double-doubles in OSU's final three games of the season, Heard finished with 12 on the year, which is tied for the second-best total among league players.
