Biking 3,466 miles across the country was the craziest thing she could think of.

LeAnn Yadon, human nutrition junior, spent last summer relaxing in the Oklahoma countryside, but it didn’t take long for her to realize staying still wasn’t for her; she was craving adventure.

She would make sure the next summer wouldn’t be like the last. Before the summer ended, she decided to plan something wild.

Student to bike across America

JACKIE DOBSON/O’COLLEGIANLeAnn Yadon (above) will ride her bike 3,466 miles from Seattle to New York in about eight weeks.

“I was like, ‘What is something crazy that I can do next summer?’” she said. “Biking across the country is pretty crazy.”

She didn’t know much going into the planning stages of her mission. She started with a Google search: “Bike across America”.

Through the search, she came across Venture Expeditions, a religion-based company that uses expeditions as a way to raise money and awareness for missions and humani-tarian initiatives around the world.

Yadon fell in love with the idea of combining her trip with a cause she could get behind. She would be raising money for education and refugee food

programs in Thailand and Burma.

“There’s a drive behind it,” she said. “Their mission is to do these adventures; they stop in communities and churches along the way and raise money.”

Yadon’s group will hit the road June 5 and finish Aug. 4. The trip will consist of a 3,466 mile bike through 49 northern cities. They start in Seattle and end in New York City, averaging 75 miles a day. The group plans to stop in a different city each night and sleep in churches, schools and host-homes. In each destination they plan to reach out to as many people as possible and raise funds for their cause.

The most exciting part of the trip is all the people her group will encounter, Yadon said.

“You get to college, and you meet so many people, but everyone is kinda on the same path,” she said.

“But I’m going to meet people in so many different stages of life.”

The prospect of biking with a group of strangers excites her, but the reality of the situation took some time to sink in.

“I got into the program, and then a couple weeks later I was like, ‘I’m biking across the country,’” she said. “’What have I done?’ But I think really I’m mostly excited.”

When Yadon started her trip, she knew little about biking and even less about the group she would be spending two months with. Instead of letting the idea intimidate her, she keeps the cause in mind.

“It’s going to be a motivation this summer when it’s 6 o’clock in the morning like eight weeks in and I have to get on my bike again,” she said. “But it’s not about me.”

City club to promote running for kids

Stillwater Parks and Recreation will team up with Oklahoma State University professor Tim Baghurst to introduce a new running club for com-munity children.

The program Run to Be is open to children in grades 1 through 5, according to the City of Stillwater website. The program will run for four weeks, meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays starting

March 25.The program is designed

to get kids excited about running in a fun environ-ment, said Parks and Rec-reation Supervisor Barbara Bliss said.

A season highlighted by injuries, high-quality oppo-nents and six draws tested the Cowgirls constantly.

With that experience

The minute ESPN gets involved, it’s go time.

The best of the best are honored to open their cam-puses to the national sports world, even if it is ESPN3.

If Bedlam was not already a pivotal moment during the season, “College MatchDay” brings more pressure and hysteria. Oklahoma State Cowgirl tennis hosts the event Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Greenwood Tennis Center.

“MatchDay” is a tennis

spin-off of ESPN’s “College GameDay.”

“I think it just validates our program kind of where we are,” coach Chris Young said. “The fact that we have a new facility, the fact that our program has really been growing and has national recognition so I think it’s just a really good validation for our program.”

The series spotlights top teams with excelling programs as well as signifi-cant coaches and players. The event will feature a “Fan Ex-perience” trailer with games and activities for spectators before and during the match.

For MatchDay, all six singles matches are played first and are worth one point. The first team to four wins. This makes MatchDay unique while forcing athletes

and fans to view tennis dif-ferently.

“College tennis is such amazing and exciting competition, and College MatchDay is a way to shine a light on schools, teams, players and coaches,” Virgil Christian, the USTA’s direc-tor of collegiate tennis to New York Tennis Maga-zine, said in a press release. “We hope that College MatchDay can change the landscape of viewing college tennis both in person and at home.”

Young supports Chris-tian and his efforts with the sport as a whole. For OSU, ESPN3 MatchDay opens new doors for potential re-cruits and national coverage.

“It’s gonna give us a chance for people to watch us play nationally who don’t

under its belt, the team looks to make huge strides toward a return to Big 12 dominance in 2014.

Oklahoma State takes the first steps Friday at 7 p.m. against Oral Roberts at the Cowgirl Soccer Complex.

OSU lost two players to graduation last semester, and coach Colin Carmi-chael believes 10 returning starters and other players are finally ready to kick it up a notch.

“Last spring, we were working to build our team’s character — make them tougher, kinda beat them down a little bit to see who could take it because they were such a young group,” Carmichael said.

“This year, we’re actually working on soccer. They’re a little bit more mature, so we’re now able to work on building out of the back,

possessing the ball, runs off the ball and things that should be focused on.”

The Cowgirls play five games this spring, head-lined by games against Texas Tech and FC Kansas City, a professional team.

Friday’s game will be the Cowgirls’ only home game.

Carmichael said plans to host another pair of home games were abandoned when the team got the chance to play against FC Kansas City.

“We can’t pass up on this; we have to at least try it,” Carmichael said. “They have like eight players that will be at the World Cup. I want to play them.”

The primary focus of this spring season is player and team development, and that includes the search for the next team captain now that Kristen Kelly has graduated from the program.

“In years past we’ve always had one or two kids that’s a leader,” Carmichael said. “With this team, it’s

kind of up for grabs. We need people to step up, and it may have to be by com-mittee.”

get a chance to see us play,” Young said. “I think it just gives … our brand a better recognition throughout the country.”

With all the enthusiasm that comes with “Match-Day,” both teams have to remember who they are playing. The No. 14 Sooners, who have lost the last five matches against the Cow-girls, are ranked significantly higher. OSU comes in at No. 39, as of the ITA’s rankings

released Tuesday. With two strong weeks of practice from Young and his team, he feels the focus should be individual improvement.

“We know that everybody is going to be anxious and nervous and excited and there’s a lot of emotions going into Bedlam so the best way to overcome that is preparation so, I think so far it’s been great.”

The Colvin Center will host its first Superhero Fun Run 5K Saturday at 11 a.m. on the Colvin lawn.

The run will consist of two laps around campus, and runners are encour-aged to dress up in their best superhero costumes.

“Our spring 5K run is similar to the Midnight Glow Run that we do in the fall on Halloween,” said Eden Ichniowski, senior financial assistant at the Colvin Center. “I think it’s just a fun way to blow

at 10 a.m. for pre-run activites. A live DJ, a comic book cover photo booth and a costume contest are just a few of the activities that will take place before the run.

“The costume contest will probably be judged by our 5K coordinator,” Ichniowski said.

The registration dead-line is March 8 and costs $10 for all students, faculty, staff and Colvin or Seretean Wellness Center members. Runners can invite guests without an OSU ID to run the race with them for $15, Ichnio-wski said.

To sign up, call or visit the Colvin business office. The only requirement for registration is an OSU ID.

The first 300 people to sign up for the race will get

“This is the first time we’re ever doing this one,” Ichniowski said. “It is kind of cool to be a part of this the first time we’re ever hosting an event.”

Colvin calls on superheroes

Students will get to see the beauty of a small country, the richness of a culture and its food.

At 6:30 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom on Friday, the Malaysian Stu-dent Society will host its Malaysian Night, which will promote cultural diversity and connect Malaysians on campus.

Dorcas Lam, an organizer of the event, said she looks forward to sharing the culture

and history with the student population.

“In doing research for the event, the organizing team has definitely learned a lot about our history and how we as a nation got to where we are today,” Lam said. “We also had the oppor-tunity to learn more about the culture and traditions of other ethnic groups in Malaysia.”

In Malaysia, these various cultures unite and create a distinct fusion of culture, Lam said.

The Malaysian culture comprises Malays, Chinese, Indians and many other ethnic groups, which have lived together in Malaysia for generations, influencing each other and creating a truly Malaysian culture.

The organization started in the 1980s, when there were 200 to 300 Malay-sian students on campus,

said Kar Wei Tang, vice president of the Malaysian Student Society.

“Malaysia is a culturally diverse country,” Tang said. “Our rich heritage comes from the fact that our an-cestors come from different places.”

The event will feature traditional dance, musical performances and a fashion show.

“We will introduce our local food and promote our culture here on campus,” Tang said.
