ST. LOUIS - What is it really like to be the Big Man or Big Woman on campus? Sporting News magazine sent its college bloggers out on an assignment they couldn't refuse - tag along with a college athlete for a day. Their mission: to find out what a day in the life is like for a college athlete. This series of profiles will appear in the February 17th issue of the award-winning magazine and will hit newsstands around the country on Wednesday, February 8th.
Justin Coons, CU Campus Press sports editor, profiled University of Colorado Nordic skier Erling Christiansen. A senior and three-time letterman, Christiansen played a pivotal role in Colorado securing the victory in its own CU Invitational/Laura Sharpe Flood Memorial Ski meet, the Buffs' first win since 2003. The Buff skiers are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation.
Whether it's an early morning workout with the team, hitting the dining hall with friends, playing video games with roommates or late night study sessions - Sporting News' college bloggers will give readers a glimpse into an athlete's college experience as well as their personality and quirks.
Athletes profiled in the February 17th issue include Christiansen, Stephen McGee (Texas A&M, Football), Terrence Roberts (Syracuse, Basketball), Dana Kirk (Stanford, Swimming), Omarr Conner (Mississippi State, Football), Matt Every (Florida, Golf), Kristen Kjellman (Northwestern, Lacrosse), and Colin Curtis (Arizona State, Baseball).
