Скачать или смотреть Ashley Reid Story: Director's Cut

Colorado State senior track & field athlete Ashley Reid became the first Ram to ever receive the Wilma Rudolph Student-Athlete Achievement Award presented by the National Association of Academic Advisers for Athletics (N4A) on Saturday June 7th at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) annual convention.

The award is given to student-athletes who have overcome tremendous personal, academic and/or emotional odds to achieve academic success while participating in intercollegiate athletics. Reid was one of five athletes in the country to be honored on Saturday.

Reid graduated from CSU in May with a B.A. degree in liberal arts and a media studies minor. At the Mountain West Outdoor Track & Field Championships last month she placed seventh in the high jump and 11th in the triple jump. Those achievements were the result of great perseverance to overcome tremendous adversity that threatened to derail both her academic and athletic career.
