After initially worrying that her days of competition at the University of Wyoming were over, Gillis now knows that’s not the case. Gillis, a hammer thrower for UW’s track and field team, is one of the seniors that will be back next spring after the NCAA granted another year of eligibility to student-athletes in spring sports who had their seasons cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic.
So not only does Gillis get to put off entering the job market for another year, but she will also remain on scholarship for her final season in the brown and gold.
