Show Notes

This chapter flips the script and turns the spotlight on two-time track and field Olympian, 1989 UT alumna, and IX at 50 co-host LaVonna Martin Floreal. For LaVonna, her time at UT helped enable her NCAA and Olympic dreams, including a silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Games. But it also reinforced how sports can empower women worldwide, to discover different places and people.
