Cat Osterman, NCAA all time leader for strikeouts per 7 innings in Women’s softball, and 2004 Summer Olympics athlete, talks about her accomplishments in collegiate sports “”I think once you receive one, it just makes you want to try harder to receive it again. I know I felt lucky in my sophmore year to receive player of the year, I was up against two of my teammates, who are on the national team now, and both had phenomenal years. So when I won it the first time, coming back in my junior year I wanted to prove it wasn’t a fluke, and that I could do it again. Then senior year I wanted to go out with a BANG and have my best year yet. So I wont it again, its more motivation I think to try to improve your performance that you would be up for the award again”"

ESPN college football sideline reporter and University of Florida graduate Erin Andrews will travel to Gainesville to interview Tebow on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. The University of Florida cheerleaders and UF mascots Albert and Alberta will greet fans and participate in the pep rally-style event in the set location outside the North End Zone normally reserved for ESPN’s College GameDay during the college football season. The ESPN shoot is open to the public and is scheduled to conclude by 3 p.m. Fans are encouraged to park in lot adjacent to the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. Gainesville will be the featured “TitleTown USA” city during both the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. editions of SportsCenter on Monday, July 14.
“TitleTown USA” is an interactive and multimedia effort to determine which city, town or municipality is America’s top championship location. A panel of judges narrowed down fan-generated nominations to 20 finalists; ultimately, online voting by fans will determine the nation’s top sports town. Gainesville was announced June 10 on SportsCenter as a finalist and is going up against other cities as small as Parkersburg, W.Va., and as large as New York.
