Abby Waner joins CSU football broadcastsCourtesy

(July 2, 2010) Abby Waner, one of the best girls basketball players in Colorado high school history, is giving CSU football a try.
She won’t be playing football. She’ll be reporting on it as a sideline reporter for the CSU Radio Network. “I’m very excited,” Waner said today. “I really wanted to do football.” Waner, who was hired this week, replaces Tori Holt, who was hired May 28 for that role and as the play-by-play announcer for the Colorado State University women’s basketball team. Holt, a former Colorado Eagles radio play-by-play announcer, unexpectedly resigned last month. Waner led ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch to three consecutive Class 5A state titles (2003-05) and was the national high school player of the year. She then played four seasons at Duke, garnering first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference tournament honors three times, before being taken in the second round of the 2009 WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Waner was waived by the Liberty in May 2009. Waner, 23, will join play-by-play announcer Brian Roth and analyst Kevin McGlue on the Rams’ football radio team. CSU has begun a new search for a women’s basketball play-by-play announcer. Read more at
