Tech prepares to reap rewards of HSI status

By AKHILA REDDY Staff Writer

In the fall of 2017, a record number of Hispanic undergraduate students enrolled at Texas Tech, compromising 27.8 percent of Tech’s undergraduate student body. Having overcome the 25 percent Hispanic enrollment minimum required by the Department of Education, Tech, for the first time, met the criteria to be a Hispanic -Serving Institution (HSI).

In the time since, the university has been working hard to ensure that the full benefits of this status are realized, Kenton Wilkinson, director of the Institute for Hispanic and International Communication and HSI Committee member, said.

The formation of the TTU HSI committee, chaired by Elizabeth Sharp, is a key step the university has taken, he said.

“As I’m sure you’re aware, we have a committee on how to inform the university community, the broader community about what is HSI specifically, who does it benefit,” Wilkinson said.

“We’ve broken up into several different committees that are looking at grants and communication and also focusing

on making sure that we’re really a Hispanic serving institution, not just a Hispanic enrolling institution, that there’s actually that effort to do outreach and support Hispanic student, faculty and staff.”

Ashley Gonzalez, senior director of the Office of First Generation Transition & Mentoring Programs and the Office of Academic Enrichment and HSI committee member, said the committee has held a welcome event educating campus members about HSI Status, a grants reception educating campus members about new grant opportunities and is currently holding a series of informative sessions open to the public.

“The TTU HSI Committee was formed to bring campus stakeholders together from various departments and organizations in an effort to increase TTU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion as we work to attain full HSI status,” she said.

As of April, Tech has achieved full HSI status from the Department of Education, receiving official Title III and Title V designations. (according to press release?)

These designations relate specifically to funding, Gonzales said.

“Title III provides funding

for Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans programs, and Title V provides funds for Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions and Hispanic-Serving Institutions – STEM.” While these programs may primarily benefit Hispanic students, many other grant programs available through federal agencies such as NASA, the National Science Foundation, etc. provide funding to HSIs for projects that are not limited to Hispanic students or subject matter.

“That is why HSI designation is important to the entire Tech community,” Gonzales said. “It will provide not just funding but other resources for programs and research across the Tech campus.”

Wilkinson said it’s important to understand that the benefits from HSI designation are not limited to Hispanic and Latino students.

“Really the benefits from this designation are not limited to Hispanic and Latino students or Hispanic/Latino orientated research and creative activity because we have advantages in terms of getting funding for a variety of different types of reseal and creative activity,” Wilkinson said.

Panelist are introduced on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 in the University Library. This event was a panel on Texas Tech being designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

In a Texas Tech news release, Texas Tech President Laurence Schovanec said being deemed eligible to apply for funds distinguishes Tech among the Carnegie Tier One ranked research universities.

“Potential funding from these programs will allow for the development and enhancement of support services for all students, as well as innovative research projects and improved facilities,” Schovanec said.

Gonzalez said besides exploring new sources of funding, the committee has been involved in student out-

reach. At the HSI committee welcome event, a survey of students was taken.

Sixty-nine of the students were first generation college students, she said. Of the 243 who completed the survey, only 203 indicated knowing what a Hispanic Serving Institute was.

Key themes in the students responses were a increase in diversity among faculty, staff and administration, more programs/opportunities for all student with diverse backgrounds and increased awareness of

the LGBTQIA community.

“One thing the survey made clear is that a large portion of the Texas Tech student body is either not aware of our upcoming designation as an HSI or is not aware of what that designation means for the university, Gonzalez said. “As a result, the Committee’s main focus right now is to inform the Tech community of the additional funds and many opportunities afforded to the university, its faculty, researchers, and students as a result of designation as an HSI.” @AkhilaReddyDT

Litigation ongoing in case of dead professor After the untimely death of Texas Tech professor Rodica Gelca in a house fire in Tech Terrace on Tuesday, March 27, her husband, Razvan Gelca, has filed a lawsuit individually and as a representative of the Estate of Rodica Gelca.

The plaintiff`s lawyer is Chad Inderman. Razvan Gelca, who

also sustained injuries in the fire, is requesting the case be heard by a jury.

The lawsuit is asking for $20 million in monetary relief, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiff is seeking decisions from the jury on many of the surrounding issues on the physical damage that can be determined through

e

mathematical processes, according to the lawsuit.

The Gelcas were both in their living room when they saw a bright flash from their neighbors John Fleming and Candace Chase’s home on 2910 21st St., according to the lawsuit.

“They went outside to see what was happening and realized that the defendant`s home was on fire,” according to the lawsuit. “They tried getting a water hose to slow the fire.

Suddenly and without warning, a large explosion erupted from the Chase/Fleming residence, causing a very large gas cylinder and debris to fly out into the Gelca yard.”

As a result of the explosion, Razvan Gelca suffered a severe injury to his hand. He found his wife alive after the incident, but suffering from severe injuries which ultimately led her to her death.

Fleming was also killed in the explosion, and Chase sustained serious injuries.

After the fire was put out, there was debris littering the Gelca’s yard. The lawsuit also states Chase/Fleming were “hoarders and selfproclaimed inventors.”

“Defendant Chase and John Fleming are guilty of negligence in many respects including but not limited to the following: hoarding rubbage around their residence in a manner to present a fire and safety hazard,

storing hazardous materials at their residence, storing hazardous materials in a residential neighborhood, failing to take reasonable precautions when dealing with hazardous materials, improperly handling hazardous materials, failing to warn others in the residential area of the presence of hazardous materials at their residence, causing the fire and causing the explosion,” the lawsuit read.

According to the lawsuit, any combination of a singular one of these actions listed makes Chase and Fleming both negligent for the injury of Razvan Gelca and the death of Rodica Gelca.

The official cause of the fire has still not been determined by the Lubbock Fire Department, and it is continuing to investigate the matter.

“The matter is still under investigation and we cannot comment beyond what we already have.” Lt. Michael Jones, assistant fire marshal, said.

In the time before the case is heard in court, Razvan Gelca is being supported by his wife’s colleagues at the TTU Climate Science Center, where she was a research scientist, and the TTU Department of Mathematics and Statistics, where she served as an instructor, has set up a GoFundMe account.

Since its creation, the account has surpassed its original goal of $8,000. @GraceStarkDT

EDITORIAL

A year like no other

H

ere at Texas Tech, the 2017-2018 academic year has been one full of milestones.

When The Daily Toreador editorial board sat down to compile a list of top stories for a year in review issue, we had one goal in mind: To publish an issue

that would best reflect this past year in Lubbock.

We went through all the stories published from the start of the Summer 2017 session to today, May 10, and chose those which we believed to be the most interesting and notable. This issue includes stories of tri-

umph and success, historic sports seasons, tragedy and the unity that came out of that tragedy.

Ultimately, these stories are the ones we think truly reflect all the greatness, difficulty, excitement and heartbreak that was this year.

Each story has been up-

dated to our fullest ability to represent the original story and to expand upon what has happened in the months since then.

We also wanted to highlight the year in photos because, as cliché as it is, a picture is worth 1,000 words. So, these are what

we believe to be some of this year’s best and most representative photos from our multimedia staff.

The stories and topics mentioned in this issue are by no means an all-encompassing list of everything that happened at Tech during the academic year — that list

would go on for far more pages than our humble eight.

Rather, they are the stories we believe to be the most intriguing, recognizable and newsworthy stories of Tech’s happenings during the summer, fall and spring. @DailyToreador

GOP immigration moderates seek to force House votes on issue WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans with moderate views on immigration defied party leaders and took steps Wednesday toward forcing campaign-season House votes on the issue. One top maverick said they had enough support to succeed.

The effort meant that a congressional drive to help young “Dreamer” immigrants that seemed to have lost steam earlier this year could be resurrected in the run-up to November’s elections for House and Senate control. That could spell fresh headaches for GOP leaders, whose party is divided between backing President Donald Trump’s hard-line views on the issue and more pragmatic Republicans.

The rebellious lawmakers are pushing the House to vote in June on four bills including a bipartisan compromise, a conservative proposal and a liberal plan.

Many of the legislators demanding action face poten-

tially competitive re-election races in congressional districts with large numbers of Hispanic, suburban or agriculture-industry voters with pro-immigration views.

“We feel very importantly that this has got to happen now, and we’re willing to drive that vote,” said one of the leading proponents, Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif.

Denham and another leader of the effort, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., met with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has opposed their effort.

“The speaker is a very respectful person,” Curbelo said. “He just told us that he didn’t think this was the best way to proceed.”

Earlier this year, competing bills aimed at protecting young immigrants and toughening border security collapsed in the Senate, including one backed by Trump. The measures never received votes in the House.

Both parties had

seemed ready to turn the battle into a campaign issue, with Democrats accusing GOP candidates of being anti-immigrant and Republicans accusing Democrats of being soft on illegal immigration.

But Republican immigration moderates wary of being politically exposed if the House abandons the issue have continued pushing leaders for votes and on Wednesday seemed to have momentum in their favor.

A group of them filed a petition that would force votes on four immigration bills if they gained the signatures of 218 House members, a majority of the chamber’s full membership.

Of the four measures, the bipartisan compromise is considered likeliest to prevail.

Ryan has tried unsuccessfully to round up enough support for the conservative alternative and has said he doesn’t want votes on im-

migration legislation that Trump won’t sign.

By early Wednesday afternoon, 15 Republicans had signed on and virtually all 193 Democrats were expected to add their names.

The sponsors would need to get to 218 votes to prevail.

Denham said he told Ryan that he had the backing he needs. Under House rules, the earliest the chamber would vote on the group’s proposal is late June.

Asked about the moderates’ effort, Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said, “We continue to work with our members to find a solution that can both pass the House and get the president’s signature.”

Denham introduced his proposal in March and has 248 co-sponsors, including virtually all Democrats and more than 50 Republicans.

Ryan could well persuade some Republicans to not sign the petition, but Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No.

2 House Democrat, said in a brief interview that he expected Democrats to sign on.

Democrats have pushed this year to protect from deportation hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who have been shielded by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. That program lets immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children stay in the country for twoyear, renewable periods.

Trump ended DACA, created under President Barack Obama, in March, though federal judges have kept it functioning during legal battles expected to last months.

A conservative House bill would let DACA recipients stay in the U.S. temporarily but would also reduce legal immigration, allow construction of Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico and crack down on sanctuary cities that don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Trump warns Iran against resuming previous nuclear program WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday against resuming its nuclear weapons program, a day after announcing that he was withdrawing the U.S. from the landmark Iran nuclear deal.

“I would advise Iran not to start their nuclear p r o g r a m , ” Tr u m p t o l d reporters at the start of a Cabinet meeting when asked about the potential consequences. “I would advise them very strongly.

If they do there will be very severe consequence.”

The comments came a day after Trump announced he was withdrawing the U.S. from the accord with Iran, abruptly restoring harsh sanctions in the most consequential foreign policy action of his presidency.

He declared he was making the world safer, but he also deepened his isolation on the world stage and revived doubts about American credibility with a rationale that contradicted the analyses of U.S. and foreign intelligence sources.

The 2015 agreement, which was negotiated by the Obama administration and included Germany, France and Britain, had lifted most U.S. and international economic sanctions against Iran.

In exchange, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear program, making it impossible to produce a bomb and establishing rigorous inspections.

address from the White House that it was “defective at its core.”

East’s ashes placed off St. Augustine coast

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN Staff Writer

Six months after Texas Tech Police Officer Floyd East Jr. died, his body was laid to rest off the coast of St. Augustine. in Florida.

Officer East’s ashes were spread inside of a 3,800-pound reef ball made by Eternal Reefs.

This reef ball will forever be kept eight miles off the coast of St. Augustine where it will be a new home for the marine life and help enhance the health of the ocean.

The ball also contains a plaque that reads his name with “Wow, what a ride!”

On Oct. 9, Tech police were called to perform a welfare check on 19-year-old student, Hollis Daniels. The police found evidence of drug paraphernalia in Daniels’ Talkington Residence Hall room.

Officers then proceeded to arrest Daniels and take him to the police department.

During his time at the station, Daniels allegedly shot and killed East.

East had a love for the ocean and his family said in a statement that St. Augustine had all of the qualities he loved.

“It has pristine beaches, is a historical site with pirates, conquistadores, claims to have the Fountain of Youth, Ghosts,

and Ripley’s Believe It or Not. All things Floyd loved. He was always learning and sharing fun facts,” the family wrote in a media statement.

Officer Dee Brown, St. Augustine Police Department community affairs officer, said the service was emotional for everyone involved, not just those who knew East.

“The emotions were very high, and we had about 25 agencies that volunteered to help,” Brown said. “Through each officer, we never know if we will make it home each day, so for these officers to honor him and send him off properly was very emotional.”

After his death, Texas Tech set up a memorial fund for East’s family. The fund has raised a total of $69,000, Chris Cook, managing director of the Office of Communication and Marketing, said.

All of the proceeds went to East’s family. The opportunity to donate is still available, as well.

As for Daniels, he awaits trial aand is currently in the Lubbock County Jail on a $5 million bond.

The state is currently seeking the death penalty for Daniels.

However, on Feb. 16, Lubbock Judge John McClendon granted Daniels permission to change attorneys, according to court documents. His new

attorney is Chip Lewis, who’s past clients have included real estate heir Robert Durst and Enron founder Kenneth Lay. There is currently no court date set for Daniels.

SYSTEM

Amarillo group to post $69 million to ensure Tech vet school construction The Amarillo City Council has approved an amendment to fund $69 million to ensure the construction of the potential Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine.

The amendment is to a 2016 agreement between the Texas Tech System and the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation that originally approved $15 million to put a building for the potential school on the existing campus in Amarillo.

This does not guarantee the school of veterinary medicine will come to be. Over the summer, Robert Duncan, System chancellor, announced

a new plan instituted by the Texas legislature that appropriated funds to determine how fiscally feasible it would be to put up the new school.

That research in the development of the new facility is currently ongoing. The idea has been the focus of the system for a few years as the need for a large-animal education veterinary facility has been needed around the area for a while, according to a previous article in The Daily Toreador.

“Throughout the history of the Texas Tech University System, the Amarillo community has helped set the standard for support and cul-

tivation of higher education opportunities,” Duncan said in a City of Amarillo news release. “Now – our partnership is taken to the next level.

We are grateful for Amarillo’s partnership and shared vision for transforming the landscape of veterinary education to ensure the prosperity of our vital agricultural industries.

Amarillo’s commitment to bring the School of Veterinary Medicine to the Texas Panhandle will have an impact on a national and global scale.

We are endlessly grateful for their spirit of support, partnership and determination.” @MichaelCantuDT

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Tech records most successful season in program history

By AUSTIN WATTS Sports Editor

Despite being ranked as one of the worst teams in the Big 12 heading into the season, the Texas Tech men’s basketball team shattered expectations with an overall record of 23-8, the team’s best finish in over two decades, and punctuated the season with the program’s first ever Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

After last year’s midseason collapse that saw the Red Raiders win just six conference games after an 11-1 start to the 2016-2017 season, the Red Raiders were ranked seventh in the Big 12 preseason standings coming into the 2017-2018 season.

Despite their low preseason ranking, the Red Raiders ended the season with 11 wins in conference play, nearly double the amount from a year ago, for a second place finish and the most conference wins for the Red Raiders since joining the Big 12.

Overall, the Red Raid-

ers finished with a 23-8 regular season record, with a conference record of 11-7. In the Big 12 Championships, Tech defeated Texas to move to the conference semifinals for the first time since 2005, but fell 66-63 to West Virginia.

The Red Raiders strong outing during the regular season earned the team a three seed heading into the NCAA Tournament, with Tech being placed in the Dallas bracket to start the Tournament.

In the first round, Tech defeated Stephen F. Austin 70-60, before defeating Florida 69-66 to move onto the Regional Round in Boston, starting with a Sweet 16 match against Purdue.

Despite entering the game as underdogs to the secondseed Boilermakers, Tech handily bested Purdue by a score of 78-65 to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history.

In the Elite Eight round, Tech faced eventual-champion Villanova, and with the nagging injury to star point guard Keenan Evans, the Red Raiders fell

behind and lost 71-59 to the Wildcats, ending the Red Raiders’ season. Villanova would then beat Kansas to move onto the National Championship, where it defeated Michigan 79-62.

For the Red Raiders, the season was a nice blend of old and new, with dynamic seniors Keenan Evans and Justin Gray providing leadership and experience, while breakout freshman duo Zhaire Smith and Jarrett Culver provided youth and athleticism for the team, with the pair finishing second and third on the team in scoring respectively.

Evans finished the season as Tech’s leading scorer with 633 points, while Zhaire Smith and Jarrett Culver finished with 417 and 415 points respectively.

Alongside Evans and Gray, fellow seniors Niem Stevenson and Tommy Hamilton IV were important role players for Tech, with each picking up a handful of starts and providing experience off the bench. Senior Zach Smith was the final senior on the team, but a foot injury at the beginning of conference

Culver, on of the Red Raiders’ key players during the 2017-18 season, will return for his sophomore season. play held the forward out for most of the season, with Smith returning right before the start of the postseason.

To the surprise of many, freshman star Zhaire Smith declared for the NBA Draft, forgoeing his college eligibility when he decided to

hire an agent. As the first one-and-done in program history, Smith will look to get drafted early in the first round of the NBA Draft on June 21. Culver elected to remain at Tech, and will be the player most likely to lead the team on both ends

of the court going forward.

With a plethora of new recruits between incoming freshman and transfers, the Red Raiders are poised to build on the success of last season with Culver leading the charge. @AustinWattsDT

Several Red Raider sports teams find success during 2017-18 seasons

By SPORTS STAFF

The Daily Toreador Men’s Tennis The No. 30 Texas Tech men’s tennis team closed out the regular season with a 4-2 loss to No. 6 Texas Christian University on Sunday, April 22, marking the first and only home loss of the season.

The match was a representation of the 2018 season for the Red Raiders, who finished 1-4 in conference play and 19-10 overall.

Despite the loss, Tech played a close and hardfought match against one of the nation’s top teams. In fact, every Big 12 match for Tech was against one of the nation’s top teams.

Women’s Tennis The No. 14 Texas Tech women’s tennis team entered the 2018 spring season fresh off one of the most historic seasons in program history and followed it up with an overall record of 20-6 during the 2018 regular season.

The team secured its NCAA Tournament bid following its fourth straight Big 12 Championship match appearance.

The 2017 Lady Raiders won the program’s first ever Big 12 Tournament Championship and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.

The high expectations entering 2018 led to Tech being selected as the preseason favorite to win the Big 12.

It also received a No. 8 preseason ranking, the highest in program history.

Baseball The Texas Tech baseball team has already secured another winning season for the fifth-straight season, with just one more series remain-

ing in conference play before the Big 12 Tournament.

The Red Raiders started off the season with a 14-game winning streak sweeping Maine, UTSA and South Alabama while also defeating New Mexico State, UTRGV and New Mexico. Tech suffered its first loss to Kentucky on Friday, March 9. After losing again to the Wildcats, Tech defeated Kentucky for the series finale, 5-3.

However, in the second game against Maine on Saturday, Feb. 17, junior lefthanded star pitcher Steven Gingery exited the game with an Ulnar Collateral Ligament injury, which ended his season before it could really begin.

Football The Texas Tech football team added five new coaches to the coaching staff over the course of the offseason following a mediocre season for the Red Raiders which saw the team record a 6-7 finish overall.

Tech added new coaches with the additions of offensive coordinator Kevin Johns, co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Clay McGuire, safeties coach Brett Dewhurst, defensive backs coach Clay Jennings and special teams coach Adam Scheier.

Johns previously coached at Western Michigan while McGuire coached at Washington State, and Dewhurst coached at Southeastern Louisiana, according to Tech Athletics. For Jennings, he coached at Houston, while Scheier was a quality control assistant at Ohio State.

Men’s Cross Country The Texas Tech men’s cross-country team saw more individual success than team success during

The Red Raiders’ best finish came at the Texas Invitational on Thursday, Sept. 14, in Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, where they claimed a second-place finish, according to Tech Athletics. Tech saw several strong finishes in the event with sophomore Shea Whatley recording the best time in the 6,000-meter run. Whatley finished in 12th

place with a time of 19:10.8.

Freshman Stephen Alvarez was the Red Raiders’ next best finisher, placing 13th with his time of 19:11.7, according to Tech Athletics. Junior Joacim Zuniga claimed a 14th place finish with his recorded time of 19:14.2.

Men’s Golf The No. 12 Texas Tech men’s golf team accomplished several things over

the 2018 season, highlighted by senior Fredrik Nilehn winning the Big 12 Golfer of the Year award, and the team receiving a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the 17th straight season.

The Red Raiders had second place finishes in six of their nine regular-season tournaments this year, according to Tech Athletics.

They reached as high as the

No. 5 ranking in the official Golfstat poll.

Out of the six regularseason tournaments in the spring, Tech claimed a runner-up finish in four of them, and a third-place finish in another, according to Tech Athletics.

Women’s Golf The Texas Tech women’s golf team saw success throughout the 2017-2018 season, even being ranked as the 35th best team in the nation at one point during the spring in the Golfstat poll.

The Red Raiders claimed four top three finishes during the season, according to Tech Athletics. Three of those four placements came during the spring season. They tied for third place in the Jim West Challenge in September.

They took home a sole third place finish in the BYU at the Entrada Classic in March. A few weeks later, they claimed another third-place finish at the Dale McNamara Invitational in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in early April.

Tech took home a firstplace finish in their final tournament of the regular season, the Lady Boilermaker Invitational in West Lafayette, Indiana, according to Tech Athletics. It marked the team’s first win of the season, coming just a week before the start of the Big 12 Championship.

Women’s Cross Country The Texas Tech women’s cross-country team saw success during the 20172018 season.

The Red Raiders’ best finish came at the Texas Invitational on Thursday, Sept. 14, in Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, according to Tech Athletics. They finished in second place as a team out of the 7-team field.

Junior Nokuthula Dlamini claimed a second place finish out of 70 competitors with her time of 14:13.6 in the 4,000-meter run, according to Tech Athletics.

Men’s Track & Field The Texas Tech track and field team has had nothing less than an outstanding 2018 season, shattering multiple records, climbing throughout rankings and earning every accolade along the way.

Tech has done exceptionally well in both indoor and outdoor competitions.

The Red Raiders set the tone for their season in the beginning of January by breaking records at the Corky Classic. The Corky Classic marked the first ever meet hosted in the new Sports Performance Center, according to Tech Athletics.

The new facility proved to be an essential component of the Red Raiders’ success during the indoor season.

Beard signs extension, Stollings hired to rebuild women’s team

By AUSTIN WATTS

Whitaker was dismissed from her position in early January. In early April, Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt announced Marlene Stollings as the new coach of the Lady Raiders team. Stollings previously coached at the University of Minnesota.

“I have to say, I am so honored and incredibly humbled to be the Lady Raider basketball coach, truly, truly am,” Stollings said. “I want to thank President Schovanec and Kirby Hocutt for their commitment to the women’s basketball program, specifically, and the university.”

Stollings emphasized in her introductory press conference that she will emphasize offense, which is a stark contrast to the program’s history over the last few head coaches. As of May 9, Tech has hired nine coaches as part of Stollings’ staff, including Associate Head Coach Nikita Lowry Dawkins, who joins her from Minnesota.

“Now this is going to sound a little different to some traditionalists, but I’m a firm believer in offense generates defense,” Stollings said. “We want to develop an offensive machine that will be highpowered and hard to guard.”

The Red Raiders finished last season with a 27-10 record overall, with a conference record of 11-7. The

men’s basketball team was nearly undefeated at home last season, posting a 17-1 record at home, with the sole

Softball With the conclusion of the 2018 regular season, the Texas Tech softball team made enormous improvements from last year’s outing.

The Red Raiders have come a long way this season despite their very young age.

The 2018 team is proving that Tech is establishing a softball program that will continue to improve and build as years go by.

The Red Raiders ended the 2017 season at 19-36 overall, and 4-14 in Big 12 play, according to Tech Athletics. In 2018, Tech surpassed last year’s total number of wins prior to even beginning conference play. At the end of the regular season, Tech claims a record of 28-24 on the year, to guarantee a winning season.

Volleyball The Texas Tech women’s volleyball team finished the

2017 season back in December and looks to prepare for the next year.

The Lady Raiders finished the season with a record of 19-15 overall, 7-5 at home, 6-10 while away and 4-12 in overall conference play, according to Tech Athletics.

During the season, there were three times when the Lady Raiders were on a fourgame winning streak, according to Tech Athletics. Some of the team’s most notable victories were 3-0 wins against Texas Christian University, Southern Methodist and Texas State.

Women’s Basketball The Texas Tech Lady Raider basketball team has made several big changes to the program after this past 2017-18 season, including the hiring of new head coach Marlene Stollings.

The Lady Raiders finished the season in February, with an overall performance of 7-23, 6-12 at home, 1-10 while away and 1-17 in overall conference play, according

to Tech Athletics.

The team started off w i t h f o r m e r Te c h h e a d coach Candice Whitaker, but were introduced to Interim head coach Shimmy Gray-Miller midway through the season following the firing of Whitaker, according to Tech Athletics.

Soccer After a tremendous start to the 2017 season, the Texas Tech soccer team struggled in Big 12 play, ending the season earlier than expected after a 8-2 start, finishing the season with a 9-7-3 overall record.

Tech’s season got off to a hot start with a 4-1 record with wins over Grand Canyon University, San Francisco, San Diego and Appalachian State. The team’s lone loss over that stretch came in a 3-0 rout by Pepperdine.

In the University of Arizona Tournament, Tech defeated Arizona State but fell to Arizona, moving the team’s record to 5-2. Tech then won three straight matches,

besting San Diego State, California State University, Northridge and conference foe Kansas State as the team moved into Big 12 Conference play.

Women’s Track & Field The women on the Texas Tech track and field team have had a number of remarkable performances coming from various Red Raiders throughout the 2018 season.

Beginning in January, multiple athletes have set several personal best marks, according to Tech Athletics.

The women’s team excelled during the Red Raider Invitational, with freshman Kaylor Harris finishing first in the 60m hurdles. Juniors Maygen Smith and Zarriea Willis also had first place finishes during the meet.

“I am so proud of our women… we are looking forward to finishing out strong,” head coach Wes Kittley said.

After a year that saw the men’s and women’s basketball teams head in very different directions, each team made coaching moves, with men’s coach Chris Beard receiving an extension through the 2024 season, and Marlene Stollings announced as the new coach of the women’s team.

The extension for Beard was finalized in early March, and within just a month, it quickly became a steal for Texas Tech. Beard led his team to the Elite Eight later that month, marking the first Elite Eight appearance for the Red Raiders in program history. The extension locks up Beard for another six seasons and shows the commitment the university has to Beard’s vision of building the program.

Although the immediate results were nice, there is still room for Beard to improve on his success. If Beard leads his team to three NCAA Tournament appearances over the next six seasons, he will automatically receive an extra year on his extension, keeping him as the Red Raiders’ coach through 2025.

Tech teams, organizations bring home multitude of national titles

By LA VIDA STAFF Daily Toreador

Pom Squad The Pom Squad dominated the 2018 Collegiate National Championship in April, in Daytona, Florida, earning its second and third titles in just two years. The team won the jazz category, and 45 minutes later, the squad received a first-place trophy and title in Pom. This was the first time the squad competed at nationals.

“Once you’re in the top three, I think that is where we don’t see not winning as a defeat, but we want to stay in the top three,” Erin Harold Alvarado, the head Pom Squad coach, said. “Once you’ve tasted that it’s like, ‘I want to be right there, what can I do to be successful?’ That changed us 100 percent.

That’s where the three

championships in two years for Pom has come from.”

Cheer Team The All-Girl Cheer Squad brought home a third-place victory from Nationals in April from Daytona, Florida.

The Co-Ed Cheer Squad received a third-place title from Nationals this year after taking a difficult routine to competition. This routine pushed all members of the squad to their limits because of its difficulty.

“For Co-Ed, they have always been a national contender doing great things for the university,” Bruce Bills, the cheer and mascot coach, said. “This year’s routine, we got third with that. It was one of the most difficult routines that we’ve ever done. Every skill aspect, we were at the top of the difficulty level.”

Debate To wrap up a wildly suc-

cessful season, the Texas Tech Parliamentary Debate Team had three teams place in the top six at the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence, and another three teams in the top eight at the National Parliamentary Debate Association National Championship Tournament.

The head coach, Adam Testerman, director of forensics and an instructor in the College of Media and Communication, received the honor of NPTE Coach of the Year.

Logan Kelley, a junior communication studies major from Abernathy, has been on Tech’s debate team for three years, but has been involved with speech and debate since he was in 7th grade.

“The team did really well,” Kelley said. “I really am so lucky to be a part of truly a dynasty of great de-

I was also individual national top speaker at NPDA this year.”

Chess Members of the Texas Tech chess team, the Knight Raiders, crouched in the dimly lit chess club office as they waited for Grandmaster Alex Onishuk, their coach, to walk through the door. As other members walked in, they hurried them along as to not give away the surprise.

As soon as Onishuk walked through the door, everyone in the room yelled “Surprise!” and presented him with a large poster board, congratulating him on his induction into the United States Chess Hall of Fame.

The Tech Chess Club saw a successful year, as well as Onishuk’s induction into the Chess Hall of Fame. The team won the Southwest Collegiate Chess Tournament in February, and placed third in the 2018 President’s Cup Final Four Chess Tournament in April.

“Winning wasn’t easy,” Onishuk said. “But we did it, and I think it’s another accomplishment we have this year.”

Meat Judging This year, Texas Tech’s meat judging team became national champions for the 14th time.

The team, which evaluates beef, pork and lamb, is no stranger to success. In 2017, it was undefeated in the seven contests in which it competed. This year, it won two of the three contests its participated in, including the national championship.

“There’s many reasons why Tech is the most successful (meat judging) program,” Erin Beyer, a graduate student studying meat science and assistant coach of the meat judging team, said. “We have resources like our plant in Friona that we go to every Friday. That’s on the surface of what most people attribute our success to, but we’re more successful than that because we practice extremely hard.”

Wool Judging The College of Agricul-

tural Sciences and Natural Recourses produced multiple national champion judging teams, one of which was the wool judging team.

February brought the San Antonio contest, and with March came the National Championship at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Alec Winfrey, a senior animal science major from Seminole and assistant coach of the wool judging team, said.

Tech had winners in both the National Western Contest in San Antonio and the National Championship.

“At each contest, they have the top 10 individuals, and Tech usually has seven out of the 10,” Emily Reiley, a freshman animal science and production major from Marion, said. “They also do the top five teams. Each university can mark two teams.

At Denver, we had first and second, and at the national contest we had first and second as well.” @DailyToreador
