Almost exactly a year ago, we wrote this post asking if Trayvon Bromell would be “Baylor’s next Olympic hopeful?” We now know the answer: Yes. Bromell’s outstanding performance in the U.S. Olympic Trials last week in Oregon clinched his spot on the 2016 Olympic roster; the former Baylor All-American will represent Team USA in the 100 meters at […]
Taurean Prince, BSED ’16, came to Baylor four years ago with little acclaim or notice. He leaves with his degree in hand as one of the highest draft picks in program history. Thursday night, the Utah Jazz selected Prince with the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft; once paperwork is complete, he will reportedly […]
Across the nation this weekend, a team of Baylor students will be among the many college teams putting it all on the line for the chance to advance to the World Series. But this isn’t a group of varsity student-athletes on the Road to Omaha; these club baseball players dream of getting to Paducah, Ky., and the Bears […]
Six Bears were selected in last week’s NFL draft — the school’s highest total in a single draft since 1987 — though only five of them played football at Baylor. Confused? Read on. Corey Coleman got things started, going in the first round (15th overall) to the Cleveland Browns as the first wide receiver selected in this year’s […]
In just her second year at Baylor, acrobatics and tumbling coach Felecia Mulkey did something no other Baylor coach has ever done — win back-to-back national championships. In fact, the Bears’ win over Oregon Tuesday night at the Ferrell Center marked an unbelievable sixth straight national championship for Mulkey, who won four in a row (2011-12-13-14) as head coach at […]
Baylor’s acrobatics & tumbling and equestrian teams won’t have far to go in their pursuit of national titles this spring. That’s because Baylor will be championship central next month, with each team hosting its sport’s national championship in Waco. Last fall, the National Acrobatics and Tumbling Association (NCATA) announced Baylor as the host of the 2016 NCATA […]
The Lady Bears made this one look easy. After winning their first two NCAA tournament games by a combined 62 points, head coach Kim Mulkey’s Baylor squad is headed to the Sweet 16 for the 8th straight season. There are 349 schools that play Division I women’s basketball; of those, only UConn and Stanford have active Sweet 16 streaks as […]
For the 4th time in 6 years, the Baylor Lady Bears are a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. And for the 5th time in 6 years, they’ll get to begin their tournament run right here in Waco. Coming off a sixth straight sweep of the both the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles, […]
Scott Drew has led Baylor basketball to unprecedented success in his 13 seasons leading the Bears. He’s won more games (and a higher percentage of his games) than any coach in program history, reached three Sweet 16s and two Elite Eights, and produced 5 NBA players. Now, he can add another accomplishment to his resume: For the first […]
Few professions are as transient as coaching, so it’s pretty incredible to step back and recognize the rarity of what we have at Baylor right now. Our coaches not only win here; they stay here. Baylor’s 14 varsity coaches have spent a combined 125 seasons in green and gold, bringing 62 Big 12 championships and five national […]
