Going For It!! // by Annika


Exciting week here for Stanford Athletics. Last month, we received the Director’s Cup for the 18th straight year. You might wonder how we do it year after year.

This week might just give you an indication why we deserve such an award. We have Women’s Volleyball starting up their NCAA tournament as the number 2 seed. Women’s Soccer is going down to San Diego to go for their second straight championship. And football will be playing here at home for the PAC 12 Championship. Pretty amazing. Not to mention that everyone on campus is buckling down and preparing for finals just a couple weeks away.

I know a lot of us are close with the soccer team, and it is always inspiring to see another Stanford team go for a championship. I remember when I was away last year training for the Olympics, I still felt a great connection to not only our water polo team, but also to the other teams at Stanford. This great sense of athletic community is what brings the best out of Stanford athletes. Not only are you striving for your best for your team and your teammates, but also for what it means wear that Stanford jersey, or in our case swimsuit.

Win or lose, you always bleed cardinal red. Playing for each other. Playing for Stanford. Can’t wait to see our teams go for it!
