Sunshine, shades and smiles at CWS

Jace Thompson '08, Kristen Chapman '09, Thomas Pressly '09 and Lauren Nixon '08 took in the TCU-Florida State game at Rosenblatt Stadium at the 2010 College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

"The minute the 'frogpile' happened at the Austin Super Regional, we were calling each other and making plans for Omaha," writes Kristen. "We got off work on Friday and left around 8:00 a.m. and drove up to Omaha. We stayed in Omaha until Sunday and had an absolutely amazing time. The entire trip was excellent, and we're already talking about making a return trip next year.

"I think the best part (aside from winning) was seeing how the city of Omaha welcomed the Frogs with open arms," Lauren shares. "It was impossible to walk anywhere without getting shouts of support or a friendly hello. I hope that Omaha will be a second home for TCU baseball for years to come."

Thompson and Nixon live in Fort Worth. He works at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, and she works in the Office of Admission for TCU. Chapman lives in Dallas and works for American Airlines. Pressly is in New Orleans attending law school at Loyola.
