STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT
Our ArizonaWildcats.com feature series, "Who We Are", continues to highlight the stories of our student-athletes. The most recent installment is a look at Jade Loville from Arizona Women's Basketball who has personified one of our core values of the "Wildcat Way". Determination represents our "Bear Down" spirit and Jade's journey as a student-athlete has been rooted in determination.
Wildcat Wednesday emails are a great way to shine the light on the outstanding young women and men who don the Block A and compete as Wildcats. Whether that's the "Who We Are" feature series, our Bear Down Podcast or other great content, we will continue to share the stories of Wildcat student-athletes here in Wildcat Wednesday.
