Good morning. Have you ever taken a selfie with a 7-foot person? Well, if you do, it will most likely just be your forehead in view because this is the angle it will be taken.

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🏐 SEC honors for three
⛳️ Kevin Watts led the Cats
🔵 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP 

🔼 Three in a Row. She’s back again for another week in the SEC honors. Emma Grome was named SEC Setter of the Week for a third straight week and SEC Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks. Brooklyn DeLeye was named SEC Freshman of the Week for the third straight time.

The awards don’t stop there— Eleanor Beavin set a new career high with a 30-dig performance against No. 10 Arkansas and was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week. Kentucky volleyball jumped up five spots in the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association top-25 poll and is now ranked No. 15.

🔼 Top Cat. Four athletes on the men’s golf team competed in the Cardinal Individual Collegiate on Monday, and Kevin Watts led the way. Watts tied for 11th place at 2-over-par. Michael Hake was right behind in 14th place, hitting 4-over. Jackson LaLonde snagged 21st, and Tanner Parks finished 22nd. The team is back in action on Saturday at the Steelwood Collegiate Invitational in Alabama.

🔵 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Unfamiliar Color. As Big Blue Nation, red is not a color we see often. But for special events like the Go Red for Women luncheon, red was the main color on site. The luncheon was all about heart disease risk, and some current athletes and coaches made an appearance— coach Kyra Elzy, Maddie Scherr, and Isabella Magnelli. The women spoke about their life mottos and what they do to stay healthy.
