The Radford Women's Cross Country and Track and Field teams, led by Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Shelli Sayers and Cross Country Head Coach, Sam Bradley, have a rich tradition at Radford University. We are passionate about providing our student-athletes with the best experience possible. Please join us in this effort by giving today!
Your gift to support Women’s Cross Country/Track and Field allows us to offset expenses for gear and enhance our athletes' travel experiences, including transportation and accommodations. High-performance gear is also important to our program because it allows our athletes to represent Radford near and far and enables them to perform at the highest levels. With your help, our coaches can also recruit and support the most talented athletes who exemplify Radford Athletics’ core values. In addition, your gift helps our student-athletes to concentrate on superior performance in the classroom and on the track, while also becoming the best versions of themselves with less concern about their educational expenses.
