To the OSU family,
It is with the deepest of sorrow that I inform you that the Oklahoma State University family lost two members last night when women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant women's basketball coach Miranda Serna were killed in a plane crash in Perry County, Arkansas.
Coach Budke and Coach Serna were on a recruiting trip. The pilot and a fourth person, who were not affiliated with OSU, also were killed. There were no survivors.
Kurt was an exemplary leader and a man of character who had a profound impact on his student-athletes. He was an outstanding coach and a wonderful person. We send our deepest sympathies to his wife, Shelley, and their children, Sara, Alex and Brett.
Miranda was an up-and-coming coach and a great recruiter. She was an outstanding role model for our young ladies.
I ask that you join me in extending your thoughts and prayers to the families of these two wonderful individuals.
Burns Hargis, OSU President
OSU will hold a press conference regarding the Cowgirl Basketball program this morning at 10:30. It will be streamed on OKState.TV.
