MU women in sports journalism
« on: December 08, 2018, 03:38:58 PM »
Nice article in the latest Marquette Comm magazine about 5 MU alums who have gone on to have excellent careers in sports journalism: Nancy Armour, Mary Schmitt Boyer, Trenni Kusnierek, Jen Lada and Sophia Minnaert.

Nancy and I worked many years for the same employer. At AP, she was one of the most knowledgeable and hardest-working sportswriters in the business, and she has gone on to be an outstanding columnist for USA Today.

Mary and I covered many Timberwolves and Vikings games together in the early '90s. She was a true trailblazer -- there were not many female sportswriters at all when she broke into the business in the late-'70s, and she earned everything she got. A real pro's pro.

I got to know Trenni some early on during her time covering the Brewers, and I was impressed with her. I never met Jen and Sophia, but I of course know who they are.

It's great to see so many folks of any gender emerge from Marquette to accomplish so much. To do it as women in a field dominated by men, truly proud to share the same alma mater!
