Junior sprinter and pole-vaulter George Bourdier has played an integral role on the WashU men’s track and field team for the past three seasons. On April 4, at the Illinois College True Blue Invite, he set a personal best in the pole vault at 5.10 meters winning the event. Bourdier sat down with Student Life to discuss his recruiting process and why he chose WashU, battling back from injuries, and his favorite hobbies. 

The  No. 18 WashU softball team dominated against The University of Chicago, winning all three games against the Maroons on March 28 and 29. The Bears are now 18-5 for the year and 5-1 in the University Athletic Association (UAA).

The Bears defeated Edgewood College 78-58 on Nov. 15 and dominated Saint Mary’s College (Ind.) 99-40 on Nov. 16 in the tournament hosted by Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill.

When the No. 18 WashU women’s basketball team tips off its season on Nov. 15, it won’t just start a new season for the Bears. It’ll start a new era with coach Lisa Stone at the helm.  With two preseason All-Americans — graduate-student guard Jessica Brooks and sophomore center Lexy Harris — leading a deep lineup, Stone’s program, ranked 18th in the country in the preseason d3hoops.com poll, has the potential to run the table in 2024-25.
