Past Photos: Volleyball Mountain West Championship

Anna von

July 31, 2020

Dear viewers,

Photo Director Anna von Pechmann and Photo Editor Lucy Morantz would like to highlight photo galleries throughout July that were not digitally published independently during the 2019-20 academic year. With the new media tab, we want to ensure that every Collegian photographer’s work is represented on the website. The series “Past Photos” will be expanded every Tuesday and Thursday for the next few weeks.

The Collegian photographers Morantz and Devin Cornelius reported on the Mountain West Championship where the women’s volleyball team claimed the title, defeating Boise State, at Moby Arena Nov. 16, 2019. Colorado State University won the game three sets to zero and won the championship for the third year in a row.

Here are Cornelius and Morantz’s photos from the game:

About the Contributor

Devin Cornelius, Digital Managing Editor

Devin Cornelius is the digital managing editor for The Collegian. He is a fifth-year computer science major from Austin, Texas. He moved to Colorado State University and started working for The Collegian in 2017 as a photographer. His passion for photography began in high school, so finding a photography job in college was one of his top priorities. He primarily takes sports photos, volleyball being his favorite to shoot. Having been on The Collegian staff for 4 1/2 years, he's watched the paper evolve from a daily to a weekly paper, and being involved in this transition is interesting and exciting. Although Cornelius is a computer science major, his time at The Collegian has been the most fulfilling experience in his college career — he has loved every second. From working 12-hour days to taking photos in Las Vegas for the Mountain West Conference, he cannot think of a better place to work. Working as a photographer for The Collegian pushed him outside of his comfort zone, taking him places that he never expected and making him the photographer he is today. As the digital managing editor, Cornelius oversees the photos, graphics and social media of The Collegian along with other small tech things. Working on the editorial staff with Katrina Leibee and Serena Bettis has been super fun and extremely rewarding, and together they have been pushing The Collegian toward being an alt-weekly. Outside of The Collegian, he enjoys playing volleyball, rugby, tumbling and a variety of video games. When in Austin, you can find him out on the lake, wake surfing, wake boarding and tubing. You can expect that Cornelius and the rest of The Collegian staff will do their best to provide you with interesting and exciting content.
