OU Daily staffer Louis Raser placed eighth in final results announced Saturday for the Associated Press Sports Editors contest naming the nation’s top 10 college sports reporters.
Villanova's Colin Beazley won first place.
Raser was recognized for work produced from summer 2023-spring 2024, a period in which he served as summer sports editor, fall assistant sports editor and spring sports editor. Raser, who is a rising senior, is interning at the Arkansas Democrat Gazette this summer.
The contest is judged by professionals in sports media who evaluated three pieces from each candidate.
Since the contest debuted in 2017, Daily students have placed in the contest 14 times and won it in 2018 (Kelli Stacy), 2019 (George Stoia) and 2020 (Stoia).
