Happy Holidays from Rock Athletics
While we have a break without competition over the holidays, our Athletic Communication team will be taking some time off and not posting much or any content to the web or our social channels between Dec. 24 and Jan 2. We'll return with basketball previews Jan. 2 before our teams get back to action at home Jan. 3 against Seton Hill.
We wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of our student-athletes, alumni, fans and other supporters a happy and healthy holiday season.
The 2024 calendar year was a great one for us here at SRU. We saw multiple teams celebrate championships and The Rock claim the PSAC's Dixon Trophy as the top Athletics Department in the PSAC for the first time since 2008. We celebrated hundreds of individual accolades for our student-athletes and coaches related to their athletic and academic excellence and we watched as numerous Slippery Rock student-athletes were recognized nationally as the best of the best in Division II.
Your support of Slippery Rock University and our Athletics programs was incredible this year. Content related to Rock Athletics was viewed more than 30 million times across our numerous platforms, including the website, our social channels, our digital network and our YouTube channel.
You watched more than 50,000 hours of live video broadcasts on the Rock Athletics Digital Network and viewed pages on our website nearly three million times with visits from all over the globe. Our social posts, graphics, photos and videos on X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube received more than 25 million views, showing tremendous support for our student-athletes.
From all of us with Slippery Rock Athletics and our content team in Athletic Communication, we want to say THANK YOU for following along and supporting The Rock!
Have a safe and happy holiday season, Rock Nation! We'll see you in 2025!
