Spring Sports Success
posted by Scott Hood on Monday, June 25, 2007
It's still going, too, thanks to the exploits of Natasha Hastings, possibly the best Gamecock athlete you've never heard of. Hastings ran the fastest 400 meters EVER by a college runner (49.84 seconds) Saturday night at the USA Track championships in Indianapolis. Her efforts earned her the silver medal in the event and a spot in the World Championships, scheduled for August in Japan, in both the 400m and the 4x400m relay.
Hastings was named the NCAA Track Athlete of the year after winning the 400m titles at the NCAA indoor and outdoor events. She was also honored as the SEC Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year.
Freshman George Bryan IV led the USC golf team to its stunning win in the West Regional earlier this month and its highest finish at the NCAA Championships since 1998. After returning home, Bryan routed the field at the Southeaster Amateur (June 14-17) in Columbus, Ga., going wire-to-wire for the victory and setting a new course record with a four-round total of 273 since the course's renovation in 2002.

USC may have enjoyed its best spring sports season in many years in 2007. The baseball and softball teams advanced to the Super Regionals and the men's golf team captured the NCAA West Regional before finishing 11th at the NCAA Championships in Williamsburg, Va.
