Visiting The White House With Our National Champion Women’s Lacrosse Team — And Remembering How Important Sports Are To College And Life
Preview:
Not long ago, I joined 30 accomplished young women to go to the White House.
They weren’t political science students embarking on internships or aspiring journalists preparing to grill world leaders. Rather, they were the members of the Pace Setters women’s lacrosse team — newly crowned as the NCAA Division II champs, our first-ever national championship squad — and they were in Washington for College Athlete Day. While the White House has long invited winners in the big-deal Division I sports for a visit — your Michigan football teams, your Duke basketball squads — this was the first time teams from all three NCAA divisions were included.
