Johnson, White speak about overcoming obstacles, finding success Z ach Hak e news editor @ z ach_Hak e

When she was a toddler, Shawn Johnson knew she wanted to compete in the Olympics.

She watched the Olympic gymnasts compete on TV, wanting nothing more than to wear the red, white and blue leotards and compete for her home country.

Shaun White had no business getting into snowboarding.

Born in San Diego, White grew up surfing at Southern California beaches with asthma and a hatred for the cold.

Oklahoma State University’s Speakers Board hosted Johnson and White on Tuesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena to speak about the obstacles that stood in their way on their paths to Olympic gold.

Johnson, who was born in Des Moines, Iowa, started the event, recalling her early days of Olympic dreams and a coach who taught her to focus more on having fun than winning.

Liang Chow, who coached Johnson and went on to coach gold medalist Gabby Douglas, told Johnson the No. 1 rule at his gym was she had to have fun, and it was never about the scores.

It was with the support of her coach and teammates Johnson was able to handle the pressure of competing in the Olympics and the wave of emotions following the 2008 Summer Olympics.

A self-described “mathlete” in school, Johnson said she would calculate her competitors’ scores and find out what

score she needed to get to win the gold medal.

After Nastia Liukin, her teammate and best friend, finished her routine, Johnson calculated it was impossible for her to score enough points to win the gold medal.

As she stood in the corner of the mat, she said she asked herself, “If I couldn’t win the gold medal, what was the point of me even going out there and performing?”

Johnson then looked across the floor at her coach and received a nod of reassurance.

“I remember telling myself, ‘You have to go out there and perform,’” Johnson said. “’Even if you can’t win the gold medal, at least prove to the world that you deserved it.’”

After Johnson finished her routine and faced the media, she said she was bombarded with negative questions about her performance.

“What could you have done differently?”

“Why didn’t you win?”

“Are you coming back next year to try again?”

“As soon as I finished those interviews, I remember running to the bathroom and bawling my eyes out,” Johnson said. “I thought ‘I failed the Devin L.

‘A Quiet Place’ makes up for lack of spoken dialogue Ta e lor Co n n el l Sta ff R epo rt er @tae m con n el l

“A Quiet Place,” directed by John Krasinski, offers many imaginative solutions to a plot centered mostly on silence.

The movie focuses on the Abbot family in a postapocalyptic setting where reptilian-looking creatures hunt the remaining humans.

To stay safe, the family must remain quiet or risk capturing the attention of the creatures.

They are hidden inside a secluded home near a river with surveillance.

Writers create a world where viewers can hear and see from the perspective of each family member. The

attention to detail with natural sounds and movement heightens the intensity of the scenes with sound.

The movie switches back and forth between the hearing of the parents and their deaf daughter, Regan’s (Millicent Simmonds), obstructed hearing. This offers understanding into Regan’s frustration with her deaf state.

The plot delivers heartbreaking insight into how hard it is to raise a family with the restrictions placed from their situation. They’re continually strained with their inability to fully express themselves. They must constantly choke back their screams of frustration and pain or risk someone discovering them.

Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and

Oklahoma State University’s

Mom’s Day

Lee (John Krasinski) Abbot exemplify what it means to sacrifice for their children until they’re forced to give the ultimate sacrifice. The emotion that registers between the family and their struggle makes it easy for the audience to connect to their story.

Lee and his son Marcus (Noah Jupe) are forced to leave the house for more supplies for Evelyn’s upcoming due date. Evelyn and Lee experience added stress when they’re forced to figure out how to bring a child into a world of silence.

The actors do a fantastic job balancing their roles between afraid and strong. The losses they suffer become a tangible

experience for audience members.

Despite their few conversations throughout the movie, it’s clear to the audience that Evelyn and Lee’s love for each other is resilient. Krasinski and Blunt’s marriage in real life translates perfectly on screen.

In addition to the originality of sound, the movie features a beautiful overgrown forest throughout surrounding areas.

The family’s house serves as the last piece of civilization in the area, and the abandoned stores in town serve as a foil to it. The deserted railroad tracks function as an ominous pathway between the Abbots and the dangerous trek to town.

“A Quiet Place” is one of the few horror movies that evokes originality and emotion. Instead of going for the cheap thrills most horror movies navigate toward, it delivers real-life problems and fears of parents. It also delivers the fear perspective of a child afraid of the creatures in the night.

The film’s ability to examine the parents’ limited capacity to protect their kids is what makes the movie widely successful.

Cowboys can’t prevent Shockers’ late rally Wa d e Haug en staff reporter @wad e_Hau gen

Entering the eighth inning, all signs pointed toward an Oklahoma State victory.

The Cowboys had a five-run lead with Noah Sifrit on the mound, who had cruised through a scoreless seventh inning.

The bullpen didn’t hold the lead the next two innings, however, and OSU fell 10-7 to No. 25 Wichita State.

It was OSU’s second loss in its past nine games, both of which came at the hands of the Shockers.

WSU’s rally began in the eighth inning. Sifrit walked the first two batters, bringing in Peyton Battenfield from the bullpen. Greyson Jenista of WSU doubled to right center, scoring a run. The next batter, Alec Bohm, reached on a fielding error, which scored two more Shocker base runners.

Entering the ninth, OSU led 7-5 with Reza Aleaziz coming in for the save.

Before Tuesday night, Aleaziz was 2-0 with a 3.05 ERA. The Shockers wouldn’t be denied, getting four two-out hits against Aleaziz, including Gunnar Troutwine’s threerun home run that broke the tie and eventually won the game for WSU.

Adam Luther/O’COLLY

OSU fell to Wichita State 10-7 on Tuesday in Stillwater.

Ben Leeper started on the mound for the Cowboys (18-12-1). It was his second start of the season. Leeper set a career-high for innings pitched in a game, throwing four innings. He gave up two runs on four hits and struck out six batters.

Leeper’s slider had sharp movement all night, leading to many swings and misses from WSU hitters.

Despite the loss, OSU had some solid performances offensively.

Matt Kroon hit a missile over the center-field wall in the bottom of the fifth to get the Cowboys rolling offensively. He played well defensively, showing off his arm on a relay throw to home plate in the fourth inning to gun down a WSU runner trying to score.

In the sixth inning, Christian Funk hit a nodoubter over the rightfield wall that landed on

UTA’s 8-run 6th inning dooms Cowgirls in midweek loss

Cam e ron Jo u r da n S ports Editor @ Ca m _Jour dan

Samantha Clakley’s first start against her former team went well until the sixth inning.

The Oklahoma State softball team led by a run heading to the sixth inning, but University of TexasArlington’s electric half of the inning propelled the Mavericks to a 9-2 victory against OSU on Tuesday at Cowgirl Stadium. A series of errors throughout the inning cost the Cowgirls, and it helped end Clakley’s bid to defeat her former team in their reunion.

Clakley had an error on a ball that went through her legs. She couldn’t pick it up and sling it to first baseman Jessi Haffner, which resulted in runners on first and second with no outs. Two batters later, Clakley hit Bri Burchianti to load the bases, which ended her day. She pitched 5 1/3 innings, throwing 100 pitches, allowing six hits while striking out three. Logan Simunek, a sophomore, came on in relief. Two more errors and a couple home runs later, the Mavericks opened up a 9-2 advantage heading to the home half of the frame.

The Mavericks had nine runs on nine hits, eight of the runs coming unearned, and the Cowgirls (28-12) mustered two runs from their 11 hits.

The Cowgirl softball team lost to UTA on Tuesday 9-2.

“Well, that’s as embarrassed as I’ve been since I have been here,” OSU coach Kenny Gajewski said. “This is a team I don’t expect that kind of play from.”

OSU started quickly offensively but stranding runners in scoring position continued to haunt it.

The Cowgirls came into Tuesday’s contest averaging 6.7 runners left on base per game, and they stranded seven against the Mavericks (20-18).

Junior right fielder Taylor Lynch smacked a solo home run to begin the scoring in the bottom of the first inning. Her home run over the left-field wall was her sixth of the season.

“I feel pretty good in the box,” Lynch said. “My runners are doing a great job of getting on, so that helps a ton.”

skid of four consecutive midweek losses.

Shippy blamed herself for the mishaps in the sixth inning and her baserunning error that ended the fifth. She was thrown out at second after garnering too big of a leadoff.

Shippy said she’s looking forward to getting to play another game Wednesday to put the loss behind the Cowgirls.

“That’s what’s great about softball,” Shippy said. “It’ll be big for our freshman, who probably took this loss pretty hard like all of us, but they can kind of see how you can bounce back the next day.”
