The term “student-athlete” is quite literal; one is both a student and an athlete, and academics are to be taken just as seriously as athletics. Senior cross country runner Desyre Blackburn tries to encapsulate that definition with her time at Seton Hall.
The Aloha, Ore. native has done more than make her mark running, as she is a co-captain this year under coach John Moon. She has also gotten heavily involved in several business and marketing organizations and societies, as she is a finance and marketing double-major.
“I’m a part of Alpha Kappa Psi, the professional business fraternity, as well as ALPFA, which is the Stillman Business Club, and those are the two main organizations I’m in,” Blackburn said.
