🔺 Welcome Home. Jeremiah Donati has been named South Carolina’s Director of Athletics! He comes to USC after spending time as TCU’s Athletics Director since 2017. Under his reign, TCU became one of five schools nationally to win multiple NCAA Championships in the 2023-24 athletics season. He brings a wealth of experience in navigating the ever-changing world of collegiate sports.

🔺 Best Of The Best. Gamecocks hauled in USA Today SEC honors! Coach Shane Beamer was named the SEC Coach of the Year. Kyle Kennard and Nick Emmanwori landed on the All-SEC team, voted on by writers for USA Today. The Gamecocks were picked to finish near the bottom of the conference, but they flipped the script and finished the regular season 9-3 overall and 5-3 in the SEC. They’re currently ranked No. 14 in the CFP Poll. Their bowl destination will be announced on Sunday.

🔺 Slumber Party. The third-ranked women’s basketball team took down No. 8 Duke last night, 81-70! Chloe Kitts was on fire, scoring 21 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for a double-double. Te-Hina Paopao and Sania Feagin scored 11 points each. The Gamecocks will play another top-10 matchup on Sunday at No. 9 TCU.

🐻 The teddy bear toss was a success!

🔺 That’s A Wrap. The Gamecock volleyball season came to an end in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. South Carolina fell 3-1 to No. 23 Dayton in the Waco sub-regional. Riley Whitesides ended her career with 22 kills, an NCAA Tournament record for South Carolina.

🔺 Let’s Get It Started. The track & field team will start the indoor season today at the Clemson Opener. Field events will begin at 10 a.m., while track will start at 11:30 a.m. At last year’s Clemson Opener, the Gamecocks took home nine wins.
