Burton has kept up her skills the past five years and that has helped her land a spot on the Australian team at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Burton was hard to miss for the Mountaineers in her four-year career. She certainly stood out as a 6-foot-11 center. She played in a starting role for the first two years she was with West Virginia, but saw her playing time wane as WVU head coach Mike Carey focused his recruiting style on size and power.
Burton had the height advantage over many girls in the Big East Conference, at the time, but her lanky frame held her back in one of the top women’s basketball leagues.
