To say Baylor Athletics staff member Keith Miller enjoys fishing is an understatement. In 2009, Miller, an associate athletic director for compliance, caught a fish literally every day. In 2011, he started another streak — this time, extending his run to 1,000 straight days; that’s nearly three full years, and the streak is believed to be a world record. […]
In 1994, two infant boys were born in war-torn eastern Africa — one in Kenya, the other in what is now South Sudan. Faced with the life-threatening realities of the civil wars around them, their families made the difficult choice to flee, picking the dangers of leaving their homelands over the dangers of staying put.

While Monday night’s win over No. 6 Texas was a big one for the No. 3-ranked Lady Bears, it also had a feeling of familiarity about it. Why? The victory gave head coach Kim Mulkey’s squad its eighth consecutive Big 12 Conference championship. It was the second time in three years that Baylor clinched the Big […]
When the Baylor softball team walked off the field for the last time in the 2017 season, they did so on the biggest stage in the sport at the Women’s College World Series. Their goal in 2018 is to reach those heights again, and the voters who comprise the sport’s two main top 25 lists […]

When it comes to preparing champions for life, Baylor continues to lead. For the fourth consecutive year, Baylor student-athletes are tops in the Big 12 in Graduation Success Rate (GSR). Baylor’s overall score of 89 led all other Big 12 institutions, continuing a streak of excellence that has seen the Bears at or near the top […]
History will note two things about Baylor soccer’s 2017 season: Big 12 champs, and an Elite Eight finish. The Bears’ best season ever came to a close the day after Thanksgiving, when the Bears lost to No. 1 overall seed Duke in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals. The loss stopped an incredible postseason run in which head […]
Sunday night, the Baylor volleyball team bided time waiting for the NCAA tournament bracket’s release by gathering at head coach Ryan McGuyre’s house for a 45-minute worship time around a campfire. When the bracket was finally released, the Bears weren’t disappointed. In just McGuyre’s third season leading the program, Baylor accomplished a host of program […]
Last year, the Baylor men’s basketball team began the season unranked and eventually became the No. 1 team in the nation before reaching the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in eight years. This year, the Bears have earned a little more respect. Head coach Scott Drew’s squad will begin the season ranked 24th in the […]
Baylor soccer entered last week’s Big 12 tournament with the league’s No. 1 defense (No. 13 in the nation), allowing barely half a goal per game. That shutdown defense carried the Bears straight through the tournament to the program’s second Big 12 title in six years and the league’s automatic bid in this year’s NCAA tournament. Led […]
