Abeba Sullivan was a junior in high school when she first started running. With the encouragement of her dad, she discovered her love for it.
Currently, Sullivan is a graduate student. With one season left of eligibility, she is looking to earn her first NCAA Championship.
After high school, she attended Iowa Central Community College. While at ICCC, Sullivan became a three-time NJCAA cross country All-American.
Sullivan’s decision to come to Wichita State in 2020, was easy for her. She said that Head Coach Kirk Hunter treats her as more than just an athlete.
Outside of running and taking classes to add on to her exercise major, one of Sullivan’s many responsibilities includes taking care of her one-year-old son.
