WVU Women's Track
 

A Brief History of Women’s Track and Field at West Virginia University

The women’s track and field team was established in 1978. From its onset, the team competed at a very high level rising to a formidable position in the Eastern ranks. The team then began to compete at the Penn Relays and the Millrose Games. It was during the Crain-Nardelli reign that WVU produced some of its most tremendous athletes. However, without a doubt African-Americans Connie Ellerbe and Alethea Moody were two of the best.
