Billboards Celebrate Hampton Olympians Francena McCorory, Kellie Wells
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Alumni, Hampton University, Sports, Virginia
Hampton University director of track and field Maurice Pierce said over the weekend that he wanted to see the university take advantage of promoting their alumnae Olympic medalists Francena McCorory and Kellie Wells. Pushing them, Pierce said, would create a major recruitment edge for future track stars to consider Hampton as a place that launches world class careers in track and field.
Hampton must have been out of the blocks early with Pierce’s thinking, because it’s hard to miss the rotating banner on the Hampton U homepage individually congratulating each for their respective success.
