Salem-News.com Sports

CORVALLIS - Oregon State University is ranked No. 19 on the Sports Illustrated All-Sports rankings for the spring season. Led by the Beaver softball and baseball World Series teams, OSU captured 58.5 points in the standings.

The All-Sports Rankings order is calculated by taking the Top 25 in all spring sports and awarding points based on standings (a No. 1 ranking gets 25 points, a No. 25 gets one point, etc.). Baseball and softball are given a little more weight (a No. 1 ranking gets 37.5 points, a No. 25 gets 1.5).

Other highlights from Oregon State`s spring sport season included the women`s golf program competing in the NCAA West Regional and the men`s crew team racing in the IRA Championships.

Men's rowing contributed to this ranking. I hope that OSU supports this team in the future by hiring a qualified, energetic, well respected, motivated Crew coach for the coming year to replace Fred Honebien.

Ah, good to see OSU ahead of Notre Dame once again. . .
