Eleven women from the Cougar track & field team have earned the right to represent USA Team at the 29th World Universiade in Taipei, Taiwan this week.
For the women, this is confirmation that they are a team on the rise. Having improved from eighth to third in conference competition, the women now have a chance to showcase their individual skills on the world stage.
In winning medals for USA Team, the Cougars have a key opportunity to prepare themselves for the upcoming season as they look to end the women’s championship drought.
Head Coach Leroy Burrell earned seven Women’s Coach of the Year honors in the mid 2000’s.
