    If the Texas Tech track and field team has an award for most inspirational athlete, Fanny Arendt would be high on the list of most deserving. The senior from Luxembourg won the women's 800 meters at the Big 12 indoor championships, achieved second-team all-America status with a 12th-place showing at the NCAA championships and got second at the Big 12 outdoor β€” easily her career bests in those meets.

    The Texas Tech men's golf team had to settle for a higher finish at the NCAA championships than perhaps anyone except they themselves expected. The Red Raiders finished 10th, spending much of their round on Monday, May 26, in Carlsbad, California, just outside the circle of eight teams who will play on after Memorial Day. Those eight advance to a match-play bracket that starts on Tuesday, May 27, at the Omni La Costa. The Red Raiders missed that cut by three strokes.

    The seniors on the Texas Tech men's golf team did what seniors are supposed to do at crunch time. Their younger teammates were no slouches at following their lead. Forced to scramble up the team leaderboard or go home, the Red Raiders did just that on Sunday, May 25, in the third round of the NCAA championships in Carlsbad, California. Tech shot 2-under-par, tied for low round of the day out of 30 teams, and moved from 19th place starting the day into a three-way tie for eighth.
