The TXST Update
Dear Friends,
Spring is here, bringing fresh energy, longer days, and plenty to celebrate at TXST. This is a season of growth, action, and community—perfect timing for our first-ever Philanthropy Week (March 24-27).
This week is all about coming together to support the causes Bobcats care about most, such as scholarship funding, food security for our students, protecting the San Marcos River, athletics, and more. It all leads up to Step Up for State (March 26-27)—the 1,899-minute campaign to create lasting impact. Every gift, big or small, fuels the future of TXST. Thank you for being part of this enduring tradition.
Bobcats in Action
Spring also means stepping up in other ways—like the Great Texas River Cleanup held March 1. Our students, staff, and San Marcos neighbors once again showed their dedication by removing thousands of pounds of debris to keep our watersheds clean.
Meanwhile, Bobcat sports are on fire!
- Women’s track and field are Sun Belt Conference Indoor Champions.
- Women’s tennis is dominating the courts with a 12-3 record this spring and are tied for 2nd in conference.
- Women’s golf won the Texas State Invitational to open the season.
- Two men’s golfers, Sakke Siltala and Jack Burke, were awarded SBC Golfer of the Week honors.
- Tylan Pope was selected as SBC Second Team in men’s basketball.
- Baseball has wins over then-No. 1 Texas A&M and then-No. 19 Oklahoma State.
- Softball is 3-0 in conference play and sitting at the top of the SBC with 19 wins overall.
And looking ahead—Bobcat football is back this fall! Mark your calendars for home games against Eastern Michigan (Aug. 30), Nicholls (Sept. 20), and South Alabama (Nov. 29). Plus, don’t miss Homecoming Week (Oct. 6-11) with a big matchup against Troy.
Exciting things are happening for Bobcat athletics. The Weisman Football Performance Center, set to be dedicated early in the 2025 football season at the south end of UFCU Stadium, is just the start. More upgrades are on the way to enhance training, competition, and the fan experience. TXST is also leading the charge in NIL opportunities, ensuring our student-athletes are set up for success in this evolving landscape. Your support makes it all possible—let’s keep building the future of Bobcat sports together.
To that end—the 36th Bobcat Bonanza is coming up on April 25 at UFCU Stadium. This is our biggest fundraiser for student-athletes, featuring dinner, live entertainment, and auctions. Get your tickets now and be part of the fun!
