📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The “Kee” to Success. Keegan McCain came to UTSA with the goal of making a lasting impact on the school’s women’s tennis program. Now, she helps shape the lives of the next generation of student-athletes on a daily basis. 

McCain played tennis for the Roadrunners from 2019-23 and currently serves as a graduate assistant for UTSA’s Student-Athlete Academic Services, working directly with the Roadrunners’ football program. 

When she first started her role, not all of the student-athletes she mentored realized her background. McCain recalls an early conversation in which a football player commented that she couldn’t possibly understand what he was going through on a daily basis. A year into her graduate assistantship, McCain is confident that her experience as a student-athlete is invaluable.

Go here for the full McCain feature, including her long line of tennis genes, her involvement in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and how her current role is shaping her future.

🔼 Every Day, They’re Hustlin’. UTSA has placed eight student-athletes on the 2023-24 Academic All-District Men's and Women's Track & Field/Cross Country Teams as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC). Sarah Bell, Gabriel Green, Ayumi Kobayashi, Dennis Phillips, Mike Roth, Isabella Simonelli, Brooke Veltman and Maren Wilms were all recognized for their combined efforts in competition and in the classroom with a spot on this prestigious team. Phillips, Roth and Wilms are each repeat honorees on the team.

🔼 Where There’s a Williams, There’s a Way. Good luck to Olivia Williams in the English Women's Open Stroke Play Championship through tomorrow at Stoneham Golf Club! Follow along here.

🔼 Let’s Go 210. The countdown is ON! Even better—as of today, there are only 73 days until the ‘Runners are back to defending the dome.

🔼 All You Need is Love. It’s never a bad time to relive Roadrunner Sidney Love making hooping look easy.
