CLINTON, Miss. --- Spring sports seniors across the nation had their collegiate careers cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A time-honored tradition across all athletic departments is to celebrate "Senior Day" by recognizing each of the members of their senior class for their efforts while a part of their program.

At Mississippi College, we wanted to let each one of our spring sports student-athletes have their own "Senior Day" to thank them for their time as Choctaws and Lady Choctaws. Their contributions to their teams and the athletic department will always be remembered.

AUSTIN CHASTANG  ---  BASEBALL

A native of Bay Minette, Ala., Austin Chastang made his way to Mississippi College after spending one season at Southeastern Louisiana.

"Austin is a tireless worker that is always in pursuit to be excellent in everything he does," said head coach Jeremy Haworth. "Austin has been a solid arm in the backend of the bullpen and we want to thank him for his commitment and dedication to the MC baseball program."

One of the top performers out of the bullpen during his time in Clinton, Chastang finishes his career ranked among the program leaders in saves. He has also excelled in the classroom earning GSC Academic Honor Roll laurels the last two seasons.

The Kinesiology major is the son of Pelham and Kristie Chastang.
