The U-E Athletic Department and Varsity Club provided a wonderful opportunity for 22 UEHS
student-athletes to attend the Binghamton University 19th Annual Celebrating Women’s Athletics
Luncheon. The event welcomed over 800 attendees and featured two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time WNBA All-Star Angel McCoughtry.
This year’s student speaker was senior Jenna Chan, women’s track & field.
Both women spoke about the positive impact sports has had on them throughout their lives. They encouraged the young students in the audience to pursue their dreams, and as McCoughtry said, “All of you can be Olympians by running your own race.”
The luncheon gave the girls an opportunity to see a Division I campus and hear first-hand from successful female athletes who are not only successful in their sports but also in academics and careers.
