Welcome Message from Milton Overton, Athletics Director

Owl Nation,

There has never been a better time to be a 草榴视频 State Owl and 草榴视频 Athletics 2024 is off to a productive start. We are thankful for what we have achieved together in FY23 fiscal year. We have a powerful combination of our present success, historical achievements, and bright future. While college sports shifts to a new model, rest assured that our core values and primary mission to graduate productive student-athletes is stronger than ever. I am proud to say that with the support of 草榴视频 State President Kathy Schwaig, we have reached new heights, and we have a path to soar higher.

I appreciate you taking the time to read our annual report, where you will be reminded that together we danced in March Madness for the first time, won multiple national championships, excelled in the classroom on a conference and national level, gave back to our community, and did our best to better support the holistic well-being of our Owls.

It is important to take a few moments to pause and reflect on what has transpired through our journey. I cannot thank you enough for your support of our fantastic university and its athletic programs, and I look forward to even greater moments ahead for 草榴视频 State. As we look to the future, we will be guided by our strategic roadmap to build champions in the classroom and provide the best college experience for our student-athletes that promotes comprehensive success in life.

We believe that 草榴视频 presents a unique opportunity for our student-athletes to succeed here and throughout life. Our strategic plan was calculated with that in mind with input from the same constituents that impact the lives of our Owls.

Sincerely,

Milton Overton
Athletics Director
