Three members of the University of Wyoming swimming and diving team died in a car crash Thursday afternoon in northern Colorado, the school said.

Charlie Clark, Carson Muir and Luke Slabber were killed in the single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 287, about 10 miles south of the Wyoming-Colorado border.

Clark, 19, was a sophomore on the men’s team from Las Vegas, and Slabber, 21, was a junior from Cape Town, South Africa. Muir, 18, was a freshman on the women’s team from Birmingham, Ala.

Two passengers, a 20-year-old and 21-year-old member of Wyoming’s men’s swimming and diving team, survived. They sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to a report from the Colorado State Patrol.

“We are heartsick at the news of this terrible tragedy for our university, our state, our student-athlete community and, most importantly, the families and friends of these young people,” Wyoming president Ed Seidel said in a statement. “Words are insufficient to express our sadness.”

The Colorado State Patrol and local emergency services responded to the crash at 2:44 p.m. local time, per the report. The car, a Toyota RAV4, was carrying five passengers southbound. It drove off the left shoulder of the road and rolled multiple times, ejecting two people.

Jordan Pope’s rainbow 3-pointer seemed to hang in the air forever before finally falling through the basket as the buzzer sounded.

Oregon State 83, No. 9 Arizona 80.

Pac-12 Network commentator Bill Walton yelled out. Beavers fans flooded the Gill Coliseum court. A top-10 upset pulled by their men’s basketball team on Jan. 25 was a rare moment of reprieve and celebration after the community weathered five hard months since the near-dissolution of the Pac-12, capped by football coach and alumnus Jonathan Smith leaving for Michigan State. Oregon State athletic director Scott Barnes, who was at the Arizona game, made sure to take in the moment.

“In times like this, it helps you understand what you’re trying to achieve,” Barnes told The Athletic the next day.

Barnes and Washington State athletic director Pat Chun have said many times that there’s no manual for the path they’ve taken since Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah decided to jump to the Big 12 and Oregon and Washington chose to follow USC and UCLA to the Big Ten, leaving Oregon State and Washington State as the only remaining Pac-12 representatives beyond this summer. Barnes joked that…

At any given moment over the past month, Gloria Nevarez was probably on the move.

After officially taking over as the Mountain West’s second commissioner on Jan. 1, she held meetings at the College Football Playoff national championship game in Los Angeles, then at the NCAA convention in San Antonio. She has visited Wyoming, New Mexico and Air Force and spent time at the conference offices in Colorado Springs. Next up is a trip to Boise State. She has tried to take in a men’s and women’s basketball game at each stop as she learns about her league.

“I have to get to campuses,” she said.

The only other commissioner in Mountain West history, Craig Thompson, was a million-miler on two airlines, lauded by conference members for always making himself available. Nevarez plans to continue that. People who have worked with Nevarez in the past praise her communication skills.

Not only is Nevarez adjusting to a new commissioner role after holding the same position with the West Coast Conference, but she just wrapped up her time on the Division I Transformation Committee, one of six college sports boards or committees with which she is involved. Few people are as interested in the nitty-gritty details of college sports as Nevarez, the second female and first Latina commissioner of…
