Congratulations to National Champion Hurdler Sage Watson

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Watson just missed a bronze medal with Team Canada in the 4×400-meter relay. The Canadians were less than a second from the podium. In Eugene, Oregon earlier this month, she got more than third place; she won a national title in the 400-meter hurdles.

What a great way to end the athletic year for Arizona and Sage Watson‘s athletic career at Arizona. She didn’t enroll at the University of Arizona originally. She started out as a Florida State Seminole. While Watson had success in Florida, it was almost as though she was on cruise control.
