Last week, we were excited to announce the signing of Charron Leaper, a 6-0 post player from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Charron averaged 15.6 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game in her senior season at Shaw High School. We look forward to having her on campus and in a Radford uniform next Fall.

The RU softball team hosted the Big South Conference Championship Tournament last week and we were out to support them Thursday through Saturday as they made a run to win it all. Coach Pulliam and I along with Mike, Coach Porter's husband caught most of the action and made our opinions heard when the umpire blew a call at third base that changed the momentum of the game. What can I say, we really get into whatever game we're watching. I guess that just comes with being competitive. With all that said, they lost on a walk off homerun in the bottom of the 8th inning of the championship game. They gave it all they had and we are very proud of the successful season they had representing RU athletics.

The first session of summer school starts today and we'll have a few of the girls around the office later this week to post their thoughts on their classes and how their summer workouts are going. I can't wait to hear about that myself.
