Each week, the MUTigers.com /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx will feature a weekly update from one of the Tiger volleyball players, updating their training throughout the spring. First up on the volleyball /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx is Tiger middle hitter Catie Wilson. Wilson finished the 2009 season as the Big 12's seventh-most efficient hitter. She also posted more kills last season than in her first two seasons as a Tiger combined. Below is her weekly update.

After what was arguably the track and field program's best indoor meet of the season last weekend, the team will head to Ames, Iowa, to hopefully build upon that momentum at the Bill Bergan Invitational on Saturday. Once again, MUTigers.com will offer a live /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx that will recap each event and help bring the meet to fans that cannot be in attendance.  

So far this season, Mizzou athletes have set two NCAA provisional qualifying marks and one school record. Mizzou has also defeated Kansas, Colorado State, Wichita State and Air Force in scored meets this season. The Bill Bergan Classic will be another early season test for the Tigers as it is a scored meet. Continue reading this post to see the live /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx, which will go live at approximately 10 a.m. (CT).

The Mizzou volleyball program has announced its competition schedule for the upcoming spring semester. As some know, the spring season in volleyball is a lot like the spring football season. The team will go through strength and conditioning and is allowed to practice as well, giving the team a chance to prepare for the 2010 season. The 2010 schedule was just recently announced as well. The schedule is highlighted by a trip to Malibu, Calif., for the Pepperdine Invitational.

It's back! After two very successful weeks of doing a live /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx at each of Mizzou track and field's home meets, the /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx is hitting the road with the team this week for the Adidas Classic in Lincoln, Neb. The meet is the Tigers' first road trip of the indoor season.

Most people need a lot of luck on their side to leave Las Vegas a big winner. However, it was not luck that gave the No. 15 gymnastics team its big win on Friday night, it was pure determination, perseverance and talent.

Last Friday, the Mizzou track and field team opened its 2010 indoor season with a variety of great performances at the Missouri Invitational. In case you are wondering, several Mizzou student-athletes rank among the best in the Big 12, as you can see in the Big 12 weekly performance lists.

The weather outside may make it hard to believe, but we are just over a month away from the start of the Mizzou Baseball season. This Friday is the First Pitch Celebration, which is the annual event that helps kickoff the baseball season.

News and Notes from around Missouri Basketball heading into the week of January 11.

The Big 12 Conference office has provided Mizzou with the final television ratings for the 2009-10 college football bowl season, and it's always interesting to dig into the "science" of TV ratings.  What the raw numbers show is that Mizzou's Texas Bowl appearance against Navy drew a rating of 2.47, which equates to roughly 2,444,617 households.

Now that the 2009 college football season has officially ended (and with it, the official NCAA stats are now finalized), I thought my first /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx entry could touch on the record achievements by Tigers this past season.

A master list of all the NCAA and MU records either broken or tied is at the end, but before we get to that, I wanted to touch on a couple of things which stand out…

After a 10-3 non-conference record to open the season, Women's Basketball Head Coach Cindy Stein and her squad opens Big 12 Conference action Saturday at Colorado (10-3) at 1 p.m. CT.

Fans not lucky enough to travel to Boulder can still watch the game, as FSN is airing the game live throughout much of the country. 

Missouri Basketball is hosting Kansas State Saturday afternoon in the Big 12 Conference-opener for both clubs and with greater attendances expected throughout the Big 12 season Mizzou Athletics would like to remind fans of some new services offered for Saturday's game and throughout league action.

The Mizzou Athletics Blog will feature live updates during the Tigers' first indoor track and field meet of the 2010 season - the Missouri Invitational, which will be held this Friday starting at noon inside the Hearnes Center Fieldhouse.

For those who cannot be in attendance, we hope to supply you with live updates on our live /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx throughout the day Friday.

Bill Pollock, sports director of the Missourinet, visited with head Softball coach Ehren Earleywine last month for a preview of the 2010 season. Coach and reporter spent several minutes going over last year's success -- which ended in a trip to the Women's College World Series -- and looking ahead to this season.

Pollock also chatted with Chelsea Thomas, who agreed to pitch to Bill for a 3-at-bat sequence. Video of the entire interview comes after the jump. We won't give away what happened, other than to say Bill's body, if not his ego, is still intact.
