New Member to the Lobo Family


I've gotten a lot of emails about the our new bundle of joy. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. For those of you that don't know, we are expecting a baby boy Oct 22nd. We are excited and we'll keep you all posted.

Leanne is getting huge and I think she's ready to have the baby. Bryze and Maizie are excited for their little brother. And what can I say, I'm ready for male boy in the family.

The New Season

Divers, Parents, Alumni & Fans,

Our season is approaching closer and as I look at our team I’m excited for competition. Our first meet is Oct 24 in Colorado Springs, against AFA, SDSU & CSU. It’s still early in the season and unfortunately the girls need to be getting there dives off and doing them well. If all the girls are on the same page we should be diving until March (NCAA Championships). I think the girls have a good chance of advancing to post season competition. Last year all the girls qualified to the NCAA Zone meet and we’ll be looking for the same results this year.

This year we have joining us, Stephanie DeLang from Atlanta Georgia. She’s a beautiful diver with pretty lines and we’re looking to add DD to her list. She’s great to have around and she brings light to our practices. She’s accumulated many nicknames and the latest one is, Jukebox. She sings 24-7.

We’re also waiting on one more addition to the team in January. Can’t mention her name until she’s here.

Coming back we have our Sophomores Aubrey and Gabby. These 2 are looking extremely good. They work hard and I know this season will pay off. These 2 girls will be feared in our conference with years to come. I also think they have a great chance of making it to the NCAA Championships. They’re both learning big dives even for being in the MWC (inside joke, I’ll explain later).

Finally, our 2 seniors that will lead this team to a great season are Sasha Evangulova and Alex Lusk. I think these 2 girls expect a lot from themselves and it’s been great to see them take charge. Sasha has the most experience in diving and knows this is her final year and she told me she is ready to work hard, dive her best and leave it all in the pool. She wants to walk away from diving with no regrets. I know she will. Alex came to us late in the game and she’s come a long way. She transferred from the University of Florida and has made a presents in our conference and our Zone. She did so well, I think she even shocked herself. I know she has more in the tank and I’m excited to see it all come out.

As you can see, we have the talent and we have the athletes. The girls are working hard and they’re dedicated this year to a good season. I ask from them, to try their best everyday and believe in themselves and everything will fall into place. If we can stick to that, WATCHOUT!!!!

Come out and support your Lady Lobos.

Let us know what you think.
