“It’s one of the most surreal moments of my life. To see my name on the roster was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. I wouldn’t be in this position without everyone that supported me along the way. I’m just so grateful.” – Haylie McCleney#OlympiansMadeHere pic.twitter.com/2DJpnioGDN

We remember that time @catosterman no-hit No. 17 Oklahoma in Norman on April 15, 2006, 2-0!
She struck out 14 and just missed a perfect game on a second-inning hit batter. It was the last of 20 career collegiate no-hitters for our LEGEND and now THREE-TIME OLYMPIAN! #HookEm pic.twitter.com/isVqjezw8F
