Shannon Algoe

I have one really cool memory of Shannon Algoe. I ran the beep test with her in the Blue Gym. Why on earth did I do that?

I still have no idea. Actually I am lying, I probably wanted to get a good workout in. I don't know for sure how we started to run the beep test together though. My guess is that she came into the office to fill out something for our facebook page and ended up talking about doing the beep test. She may have jokingly asked if I wanted to join her. I am sure I would have said "absolutely." That might have been how it happened

The beep test is when you run back and forth a certain distance and have to beat the beeps. As the test goes on the beeps get closer and closer to each other, making them harder to get.

I remember running them with Shannon after I found out that she had transferred to Buffalo. I was happy for her and I remember the goal of her running was to get ready for Buffalo's spring season. Either way I wanted Shannon to succeed.

I check in with Buffalo's statistics and I am very happy to see that Shannon has been playing a lot, has scored some goals as a defender and is making an impact for her team.

Another memory I have of Shannon is when she came into the office to fill out "what gift we would give a teammate for the Holidays." I didn't put my name on the list, but she said I had to be included. I think she gave me a pedometer.

I also recently found out she was named to the Academic All District first team by COSIDA this year. It's an award given for top Scholar-Athletes.
