Former Buckeye Commit Wins Second B10 Title With Michigan
It has been a really, really good stretch for University of Michigan dual-sport athlete, Joey Valazquez. The senior out of Columbus, Ohio, recently captured his first Big Ten Championship in 2021 as part of the Michigan Football program - but Valazquez wasn't quite done yet. Just five months later, the Ohio native captured his second Big Ten Championship as part of the Michigan Baseball program.
During a recent interview with Big Ten Network, Valazquez provided a bit of insight into what it takes to succeed as a dual-sport athlete at the University of Michigan.
"It's a lot of time management. It takes a lot of discipline and I couldn't do it these guys. They're so supportive and helping me out, Coach Bakich...they're all so understanding of what I've got going on. It's just great to be a part of such a great to be a part of a great program."
The Wolverines are now preparing for their third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, set to begin in this week in Louisville, Kentucky. Michigan (32-26) enters the tournament with the No. 3 seed and will face No. 2 seed Oregon on Friday at 7 PM.
