What else do we have brewing this morning?

👟 All the All-Americans
⚾️ Awesome opportunity
​⚔️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Set Up For Success. In late March, ACC rivals Virginia and Duke played a three-game baseball series at Disharoon Park. Little did Chris Pollard know then that, two-and-a-half months later, he’d be calling the Dish home.

“It never crossed my mind,” Pollard said Thursday afternoon.

🔼 Crossed The Finish Line. Virginia track and field closed out competition at the NCAA Outdoor Championships over the weekend — the men on Friday and the women on Saturday.

Gary Martin finished fifth in the men’s 1500-meters to earn First Team All-American honors, while Will Daley notched Second Team All-American honors in the men’s 5000-meters.

Margot Appleton raced to a runner-up finish in the women’s 1500-meters in a time of 4:08.99 and a 13th-place finish in the women’s 5000-meters. Celia Rifaterra and Estel Valeanu earned All-American nods in the high jump and discus, respectively.

🔼 Court Authority. A pair of Virginia tennis standouts earned awards over the weekend — Rafael Jódar was named the ITA National Rookie of the Year and Elaine Chervinsky was named the ITA Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award winner!

🔼 Mark Your Calendars. Virginia women’s soccer released its schedule for the 2025 season on Friday, with a home slate that includes 10 games at Klöckner Stadium!

🔼 Top Dog. Former Virginia quarterback Bryce Perkins has been named the MVP of the UFL!

🔼 Foot Race. We only have 75 more days until Virginia football is back on the field for its 2025 season opener at Scott Stadium against Coastal Carolina!

Here’s a fun throwback — who remembers Jordan Ellis’ three-touchdown day against Ohio back in 2018, including a 75-yard touchdown run right up the middle?
