Washington State Cougars News, Notes and AM Links 5/14
By Josh Davis
Washington State sports has been busy as of late and is winding down the Spring seasons now. A few of the more interesting notes and newsworthy items to finish up the school year.
First things first a very big CONGRATULATIONS to Kristine Felix, who became the first Cougar woman to win the conference championships in the pole vault Sunday at the Pac-12 Track & Field Championships on Cromwell Field at Loker Stadium on the USC campus. Felix is only a freshman! More on her story at WSU Athletics.
The Cougar baseball team had high hopes for the post season after a good start to the year, but the wheels have fallen off in the second half and unfortunately their record is now 21-27 after a 3-14 stretch. The latest tragedy came at the hands of UC Santa Barbara yesterday.
WSU alum Klay Thompson continues his quest for an NBA Championship at 6:30 tonight when his Golden State Warriors take on the San Antonio Spurs at 6:30. It will be Game 5 of the best of 7 series, with the series tied up a 2 apiece. Of course Thompson’s 34 point effort in Game 2 at San Antonio was one of the highlights of the series and we’ve been keeping close tabs on his action on twitter and here at ACU.
