Cheri Blauwet Receive Quotations

When I first came here, the wheelchair racing program was really in its fledgling stages, but by the time I left, we were a strong team with athletes from around the country and had begun to receive more support from the university. I continue to hear of both the success and struggles of the team and it makes me miss having such a strong community of athletes with disabilities all in one place.

Once I got to the UA and had the resources to receive coaching every day and train with other teammates, I was able to progress very quickly into an internationally competitive level. I stayed on track and have now eventually ended up where I am today, and to know that I made it here through hard work and a great deal of support makes my wins that much more meaningful.
