I was invited to be a part of the Big Ten Top 50 Icons by the Big Ten Network featuring #19 Suzy Favor Hamilton – one of the most decorated female athletes in NCAA history.

This past summer, it was an honor was to be asked as the Senior Editor of PreRaceJitters.com, an elite track and field blog, to put into perspective the accomplishments of a once-in-a generation athlete such as Favor Hamilton.

Legendary broadcaster Keith Jackson hosts the Big Ten Top 50 Icon’s episode spotlighting the Wisconsin Badgers’ nine-time NCAA champion and 14-time All-American in track and field and cross country.

The Big Ten Network series counts down the top 50 student-athletes in Big Ten history.

Thanks again to Ashton Campbell, the Big Ten Network for the invite, and Suzy Favor Hamilton.  The Big 10 Top 50 Icons series includes household names such as #48 Drew Brees, #18 Jack Nicklaus, #20 Charles Woodson, and #34 Desmond Howard to name a few.
