A former runner for the Vulcans, Sandy Estep enters her first season as a graduate assistant.

Estep competed on the cross country and track & field teams from 2008-13. In track & field, she was a nine-time individual qualifier for the PSAC Championships and set three school records as part of relay teams. As a sophomore, Estep helped the 4x400-meter relay claim the first women’s relay league title since 1985 and qualified for the NCAA Championships.

A native of Virginia, Estep also competed on the cross country team for three years. She placed sixth on the team as a freshman in 2008 at both the league and regional championships.

Estep received USTFCCCA All-Academic honors for track & field three times in her career and earned D2ADA Academic Achievement Award status last season. She also garnered PSAC Scholar-Athlete laurels five times in her collegiate career and was a 10-time member of the Cal U AD Honor Roll.

Estep earned her undergraduate degree in sport management with a concentration in wellness and fitness in 2012. The following year, she completed her master’s degree in exercise science and health promotion with an emphasis in performance enhancement and injury prevention. Estep is currently pursuing a letter of completion in sport psychology.

Her younger brother, Kyle, is currently a junior on the track & field team.
