3.  Support for Special Olympians

Puget Sound alumni, students, and faculty volunteered at the Washington State Special Olympics Spring Games held on campus and hosted health screenings for athletes.

Parenting Playbook

Logger Women’s Soccer Head Coach Stephanie Cox was interviewed by Parent Map, where she talked about the intersection of sports, achievement, and parenting.

“One of the things that I tell my players now as a college coach is to focus on the things that they can control, but be aware of the things that they can influence. They can’t control the referee or the opponent or the weather. While they cannot control their teammate, they can influence them by their communication and encouragement,” Cox said. “As parents, we cannot control our kids, but we can influence them. Our response to them should be level, like an athlete, not too high or not too low, so that they can gain stability from us while they are trying to manage their own emotions.”

A Force of Nature

Kathy Phibbs, the daughter of former President Philip M. Phibbs, was the subject of an episode of the National Park After Dark podcast. The episode explored Kathy Phibbs’ role as a pioneer for women and LGBTQIA+ mountain climbers, how she established the annual Mount St. Helens Mother’s Day Climb, and her tragic death while climbing Dragontail Peak near Leavenworth, Washington, in 1991. The Kathy Phibbs Memorial Scholarship, named in her honor, is awarded annually to students who enjoy outdoor activities, are voracious readers, and have a strong interest in history.

Accolades for Days

The spring season may be over, but Logger scholar-athletes are still being recognized for their strength both on the field and in the classroom. Three members of the Women's Lacrosse team and five members of the Logger Baseball team earned a spot on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team. Several members of the Women's Crew team also earned Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) honors, and eighteen Loggers were named to the Northwest Conference's All-Sportsmanship Teams.
