Two student orgs to hold events for community Collegiate Recovery, Project Heal events being held next week to send message that recovery is possible

How to deal with West Virginia’s addiction problem “The police can only do so much in the aspect of the law, because people still get around it no matter what.

Two years ago, at my high school there were five ODs, and I believe it could be a huge factor if more people knew about (naloxone) and had it.”

BY PATRICK ORSAGOS CORRESPONDENT

Two WVU organizations want to send the message to families with children suffering addiction and eating disorders, that recovery is not only real, it is possible.

The WVU Collegiate Recovery Program will be holding a Parent Support Group at 6 p.m. on Feb. 21 for families who have children who are affected by addiction.

Following the Parent Support Group, the WVU student organization Project Heal will be holding a WV National Eating Disorder Association Walk at 11:30 a.m.

Feb. 26 inside the Student Recreation Center.

Both events will encompass the message that recovery is real, and it is possible.

The organizations want to show persistent efforts in making a difference for students and families affected by eating disorders.

Susan Mullen, recovery specialist at the WVU Collegiate Recovery Program, described the purpose of the Parent Support Group to invite people who are in recovery, those seeking recovery or allies of recovery to join together.

“We invite parents to come in person or by phone, teleconference and video,” Mullen said.

“I want to give these parents hope,” Solomon said.

“When your student is alive, that’s hope.”

It is often difficult to see a brighter side while dealing with addictions and Solomon wants to remind parents that hope is real and it is plausible.

Solomon also stressed the importance of a strong sense of community in the Parent Support Group Meetings.

She spoke about her experiences with her son’s addiction and how other parents can be helped by support meetings.

“The parent support meetings were a lifesaver when my

son was going through rehab,” Solomon said.

Along with the Parent Support Group, Project Heal’s WV NEDA Walk will encourage recovery and healing for any affected by eating disorders or body image issues.

Audrey Gunther, the president and founder of Project Heal, wants students and parents to know how her organization can help the recovery process.

“The two goals of our organization are to create a recovery network on campus and fundraise for treatment grants,” Gunther said.

One way the organization is carrying out its mission is by holding a WV NEDA Walk.

“The last Sunday in February, which is actually the first day of National Eating Disor-

der Awareness Week, we are hosting West Virginia’s first ever walk on campus at the Recreation Center,” Gunther said.

The top three teams and the top three individuals who raise the most money will be awarded a prize at the end of the walk.

“NEDA produces these walks all across the country. The proceeds go towards treatment grants and resources,” Gunther said.

The purpose of the walk is to instill hope and give courage for recovery to those affected by eating disorders.

There are team and individual sign ups available before the event online at http://nedawalk.org/morgantown2017 and before the event at 11 a.m.

Why marijuana is a serious answer for West Virginia’s problems BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

Allowing the distribution of naloxone over the counter in West Virginia was a great first step in reducing the highest rate of opioid overdose deaths in the country.

But it still does not solve the root of the problem: opioid addiction.

To combat addiction, West Virginia needs to commit to rehabilitation efforts.

This is how marijuana can help.

First of all, marijuana has been shown to help lessen opioid use by patients suffering chronic pain. A 2016 study in the “Journal of Pain” concluded “cannabis use was associated with 64 percent lower opioid use in patients with chronic pain.” It also demonstrated “cannabis use was associated with fewer medication side effects and medications used.”

Another study published in 2014 found “Medical cannabis laws are associated with significantly lower state-level opioid overdose mortality rates.”

In Colorado last year the sale of marijuana made $1.3 billion. It is also sold in 27 other states and three territories for medical use, and eight states for recreational use.

But whether lobbying, misinformation, political concerns or hardheadedness is to blame, West Virginia remains opposed to the idea of marijuana as a potential solution to its revenue and opiate issues. At least that’s the view of lawmakers. This was made clear at the Legislative Lookahead hosted by the Associated Press on Feb. 3 in Charleston. “(Marijuana) stands zero chance of making it through the legislature” said Lt. Gov. Mitch Carmichael.

In the same seat just hours earlier there was a panel of police officials and experts on marijuana. The panel produced some heinously indefensible stances regarding the issue.

“This drug is the most dangerous drug in the country,” said John “Ed” Shemelya who is a national coordinator for The National

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Hemp, a strain of Cannabis sativa, is grown at the WVU Organic Farms on the Mileground.

Though it’s the same species as marijuana, hemp is low in THC, but has high levels of CBD. Marijuana Initiative.

Really, Ed? How many people have died from overdoses of marijuana? Hint: the answer is zero.

Shemelya represents an organization whose mission statement “is to put forth unbiased, scientific and factbased information about marijuana.” This is neither fact nor acceptable in the state where opioids actually

do kill people. A record number of people.

Shemelya added, “You’re going to hear how it’s going to be a revenue cash cow.

Not the case.”

Wrong. The legal marijuana industry alone made more than $5.4 billion in 2015.

On the same panel, Charleston Police Lt. Eric Johnson said legalization “is

a process that needs to go through the FDA.” Colorado didn’t go through the FDA. It just decided as a state that selling marijuana made (at the bare minimum) good financial sense.

The FDA and DEA still classify the drug—alongside heroin—as, “drugs with no currently accepted medical use.” A finding that hampers significant research into its value.

As more West Virginians die of opioid abuse, it is clear this is not the time to pretend inaction is patience. It’s even clearer that the FDA is not handling this issue responsibly, and that it is up to the citizens of West Virginia to bring the issue to the forefront.

While marijuana is no perfect solution, it has proven to be a potential revenue source and a weapon against opioid abuse. In combination with naloxone, legalizing marijuana could be the 1-2 punch West Virginia needs to begin lowering its record rates of overdose deaths.

If we are as dedicated to the fight against poverty and drug addiction in West Virginia as we claim to be, to continue to disregard marijuana is a major oversight that will surely cost lives.

Heroin

Naloxone: A second chance at life

Naloxone FAQs 1. HOW DOES NALOXONE WORK? Once naloxone is given to the patient, it blocks the effects of opiates on the brain and then restores breathing. Naloxone will only work if the person has opiates in their system.

2. ARE THERE ANY RISKS FROM TAKING NALOXONE? While there are no significant risks from taking naloxone, some side effects include pain, high blood pressure, sweating, agitation, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting and irritability.

— If the person has abused opioids for a long period, they may go through withdrawal after naloxone is administered.

3. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR NALOXONE TO WORK? It takes two to five minutes for the patient to start breathing. If the person does not wake up after that time span, a second dose of naloxone should be delivered.

4. DOES NALOXONE EXPIRE? Yes. The drug has a lifespan of 9-12 months. If it is not used after a year, it needs to be dispensed of.

5. WHAT DRUGS ARE OPIOIDS? Heroin, morphine, oxycodone (Oxycontin), methadone, hydrocodone, codeine and other prescription drugs.

Injection reverses opioid overdose to save drug users from death For West Virginia—a state devastated by the effects of opioids—naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, can offer a lifeline and second chance to overdose victims.

The Mountain State consistently holds the highest rate of opioid overdose deaths in the nation. Last year alone, an estimated 615 opiate-related overdose deaths were reported, according to the Department of Health and Human Resources.

Following a legislative decision last spring, Kroger, Walgreens and CVS Pharmacies across the state have begun allowing customers to purchase naloxone without a prescription. The motivation for the senate bill was based on the number of opioid related deaths in West Virginia, said David Potters, the executive director of West Virginia Board of Pharmacy.

“By changing how naloxone can be prescribed, it gives people a faster chance to get help. It gives time for emergency treatment to be provided,” Potters said. “It gives the person who is suffering the overdose a second chance to survive and change their life.”

Before the “opioid antagonist,” as some refer to it, can be purchased, a pharmacist must interviews and train the customer on how to use the medication, which comes in four different forms: Nasal spray, nasal spray with assembly, auto-injector and injectable

naloxone. While each pharmacy is different, the cost of naloxone is approximately $140 without a copay, and $20-$40 depending on insurance plans.

The auto-injector is the most common form of naloxone. No assembly is required and it can be injected into the outer thigh, even through clothing. It also contains a speaker which provides step-bystep instructions on how to distribute the drug into the patient.

To help supply access to communities in West Virginia, the WVU Injury Control Research Center assembled and distributed 8,000 naloxone rescue kits to nonEMT first responders in the state, like police officers, fire departments and substance abuse treatment programs.

“The hope we want to see by distributing the rescue kits will hopefully decrease the number of opioid overdoses, to save people’s lives is the biggest thing to us,” said Sheena Sayres, public health outreach specialist at WVU ICRC. The money for the kits came from a $1.07 million grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Each kit included two doses of naloxone, instructions for how to dispense the medication and a naloxone administration card to where people are supposed to write the circumstances in which the drug was used on the patient.

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Naloxone hydrochloride prefilled syringes sit in a pile at the WVU Injury Control Research Center. Volunteers packed two syringes into each rescue kit to be shipped statewide to help stop opioid overdose deaths.

Before naloxone was available without a prescription, responders and programs were trained on how to use naloxone, but did not have access to it, Sayres said.

WVU ICRC also provides substance abuse programs throughout West Virginia that can provide people with the medication, while also creating awareness for the opioid epidemic.

“Naloxone programs first started in November 2015.

We (WVU ICRC) just conducted a census of how many programs are in West Virginia, now we’re up to 82,” Sayres said. “As the programs continue to grow, so does the awareness of the effects of opioids.”

Heroin is the most frequently used opioid in West Virginia. Other common opioids include: Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Morphine, Codeine and Buprenorphine.

Increasing access to nal-

oxone is a part of CVS Pharmacy’s comprehensive approach to help communities address prescription drug abuse, said Erin Shields Britt, the corporate communications of CVS Pharmacy.

“Building an awareness to drug abuse and increasing access (to naloxone) will provide individuals with a resource that they might have not had if they needed to get a prescription for the drug,” Britt said.

CVS has programs for schools where pharmacists teach children about the effects of opioids, how to prevent prescription drug abuse and how naloxone can help in emergency situations. CVS also donates naloxone to police and fire departments.

Any organization that provides overdose education can contact Shenna Sayres at 304-293-1528 or ssayres@hsc.wvu.edu to be put in the naloxone distribution program.

Carruth Center, Collegiate Recovery hold naloxone workshop Carruth Counseling Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services and the WVU Collegiate Recovery Program held a workshop to provide information about how to obtain access to naloxone and how good Samaritan laws can help WVU. The panel, Love Someone, Save Someone with Naloxone, featured a recovered opioid abuser, Phoebe Nugent, speaking about her experiences with naloxone—also known as Narcan—and how it helped her change her drug addiction.

To date, Nugent has been off opioids for 137 days.

“Honestly, if I hadn’t have had Narcan, I would be dead,” Nugent said. “I lost my little brother to an overdose four years ago—they didn’t have Narcan. I lost my three good friends from it (overdosing) last week.

Shasta Bell, an employee at Help4WV, said many people are afraid to give someone overdosing naloxone because they don’t want to get in trouble or prosecuted.

“If their friend is overdosing they’ll just take them out on the street and drop them off,” Bell said. “They’ll call 911 later because they don’t want to be there when the

cops show up.”

Collegiate Recovery Program wanted to express that good Samaritan laws allow people to be able to administer Naloxone to someone overdosing, and not get in trouble with law enforcement.

Susan Mullens, the recovery specialist and coordinator at the Collegiate Recovery Program, wants WVU to know if the indi-

vidual calls 911 before or after giving the dose, then they will be helping to save someone’s life.

Mullens has been involved in trying to raise awareness about naloxone before she worked at WVU. “There are drugs that are making their way into the area, (and) I think that it is important for students to know how to recognize an overdose and what to do,” Mullen said. “Students need to be prepared to know how to respond to it.”

Along with Mullen providing awareness about Naloxone across WVU, Sen. Ron Stollings, is trying to get naloxone into public schools across the state.

A state senate bill, SB-36, would allow school nurses to have naloxone on or near schools and administer the medication if the nurse believes the student is having an opioid overdose.

Through the eyes of an EMT: Paul Seamann recalls treating overdoses When Paul Seamann first became a volunteer EMT 30 years ago, he never imagined how terrifying it would be to witness someone overdosing on opioids for the first time.

Seamann, now the director of operations at Jan-Care Ambulance in Morgantown, has administered Naloxone 20 times in his career as an EMT and paramedic.

“I remember the first time (administering naloxone), it did work, but it was one of the most dramatic experiences in my life,” Seamann said. “When you think surely someone won’t be able to survive this, and they’re blue, it was very

dramatic when they regain consciousness.”

Throughout Seamann’s experience with naloxone, he wants to urge people to know that it isn’t a safety net to abuse prescription drugs.

“It can give you the sense that it’s a miracle drug. Yet sometimes, it doesn’t always work out in the best way,” Seamann said.

Depending on the amount of opioids the person overdosed on and how fast the naloxone was given can affect if they will live or not. Seamann wants the public to know that while the drug does help many people, a lot of factors can go into a life or death

Frostburn brings Burning Man to winter weather

For those who would rather party on the slopes than in the desert, Frostburn offers a chilly alternative to the famed Burning Man Festival.

Taking place this weekend on Marvin’s Mountaintop in

Masontown, WV, Frostburn will offer art, food and fire to bring the Burning Man Desert Spirit to the Arctic Tundra.

The Burning Man Festival occurs once a year toward the end of summer in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, where tens of thousands of people gather to create a temporary metropolis called Black Rock

City. This is dedicated to the community, art, self-expression and self-reliance, welcoming anyone who wants to let their creativity flow.

The menu features several vegetarian and vegan options in addition to several healthy “wiches” with less than 400 calories. In 2015, Which Wich won the Menu Masters Award for Healthful Innovations.

Hicks said she was excited for the new restaurant because it would bring more variety to the dining options

at the Mountainlair.

Black History Month

Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia.

King, a Baptist minister and civilrights activist, had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States, beginning in the mid-1950s.

Among his many efforts, King headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Through his activism and inspirational speeches he played a pivotal role in ending the legal segregation of

African-American citizens in the United States, as well as the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, among several other honors. He was assassinated in April 1968, and continues to be remembered as one of the most influential and inspirational African-American leaders in history.

In his book, “American Pain,” John Temple tells the story of the king of Florida pill mills, a mega-clinic expressly created to serve addicts posing as patients, and how it helped tip the nation into its current opioid crisis, the deadliest drug epidemic in American history.

Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner spoke to Temple about the book and how he went about investigating and writing the book.

Q. How did you become interested in the pain clinic?

A. I read a short article about the pain clinic. Just living here and having seen how devastating the opioid epidemic has been, I was always really curious about it—how it happened and why it happened. This pain clinic was so big, so overt. They were basically dealing drugs but no one could do anything about it. I just thought it was such a crazy story, I had to write it.

Q. How did you begin your investigation into the story?

A. I spent about three or four months just reading, because I came into the subject not knowing that much about it. I read government reports, news articles, magazine stories and a ton of court documents related to this criminal case. I wanted to become familiar with the subject as a whole and understand it before I delved into it. I also went to a big annual conference around the big prescription drug epidemic in Florida. So I met a lot of people there, like speakers and experts. Then I began going and reaching out to the people involved in the case. A bunch of them are in prison, so I wrote them letters and started doing interviews over the phone with the ones who would talk to me.

Eventually, I went and visited some of them.

I just traveled to Florida a bunch of times and interviewed a bunch of those who were (not in prison). It just sort of started coming together that way.

Q. Did you run into any roadblocks while you were collecting information?

A. Oh my gosh, yeah. Probably the biggest roadblock was that there was an ongoing criminal case related to one of the doctors.

Early on, there was a trial that I went to, and then the doctors were convicted, but then there were appeals. So the biggest issue there was that the FBI and the federal pros-

John Temple, M.F.A. Journalism Professor Reed College of Media ecutors, who prosecuted this case, would not talk to me for a long time. They wanted to talk but they are not allowed to talk when there’s an ongoing criminal case. They don’t want to say something to me that messes up the case. I did talk to a bunch of people, who were involved with the case, confidentially, a bunch of times, and they indicated that they really want to talk but they were constrained.

FREE SMARTPHONE with a

PREPAID PLAN

Q. How did you overcome this to finish the book?

A. I wrote the whole book, finished the reporting, and I kept trying, throughout that whole period, to talk to them and never could get permission and then I finally said, “I’m turning in the book next week, this is the last chance that I am going (to be able) to get the entire federal government’s side of the story. It’s going to be from all of these other different points of view that are not necessarily that flattering to the federal government.” Then they finally agreed, so I went to Florida and spent three days in the FBI building, talking to all of these people.

It was very intense because they had all of these rules, but I got it.

Q. How did your prior experience as a journalist help you while investigating and writing the story?

A. I’m probably not even that aware of it all because it’s sort of second nature. The biggest thing is not really a skill, it’s like an attitude. There’s a million little skills you learn as as you go along when you’re writing and reporting, but the biggest thing I’ve learned over the years is to go in expecting to feel stupid and not know the answer, and that’s okay. I always try to remind myself to be curious, be open to what this person has to say and I hope and I think that it comes across in my writing. I always feel good after an interview if I’ve successfully put myself out there in that way, but feeling stupid is just a big part of the job.

Smith continues dominance, looks for big finish

BY PATRICK KOTNIK

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

SPORTS WRITER

WRESTLING On the mat, WVU redshirt junior and fifthranked Jacob A. Smith is a force to be reckoned with at 197 pounds.

After spending his freshman year at Cleveland State and later receiving a medical hardship waiver for that season, Smith returned to his home state and WVU. As a native of Charleston, Smith takes pride in his home state and doesn’t forget his early influences and what motivated him on his path to becoming a highly successful wrestler for the Mountaineers.

“I’d say being a native coming from West Virginia, it means absolutely everything to me,” Smith said. “Growing up, I’ve always looked up to the kids that were kind of in my position, and I always wanted to eventually get to this level—to be able to fulfill those shoes that I always looked up to. Now, I know a lot of people are looking up to me so it’s really good feeling.”

So far at WVU, Smith has qualified for the NCAA Championships the past two years and has cracked the top 10 rankings for the second consecutive season. He’s also someone who does the

WVU’s Jacob Smith faces off with Preston Weigal during the 2016 wrestling season. little things right both on and off the mat according to head coach Sammie Henson.

“He’s doing everything right right now,” Henson said. “I always say that if you’re doing things right off the mat, it carries over.”

It has indeed carried over to the mat.

This season, Smith leads the Mountaineers with a 16-4 record and currently has a 10-match winning streak. He’s also ranked the highest he’s been in his college career at No. 5.

To add to his achievements, Smith was also named Big 12 Co-Wrestler of the week after go-

ing 2-0 this past weekend, which included wins over No. 7 Nate Rotert of South Dakota State by injury default and Marcus Harrington of Iowa State by a 12-0 major decision, helping WVU win its firstever Big 12 dual match.

Despite the high ranking and 10-match win streak, Smith doesn’t think much of them as he knows anything can happen on the mat on any given day.

“I try not to get involved in the rankings too much,” Smith said. “Rankings really don’t mean much especially when you get to the national tournament.”

As the Mountaineers

close out their home slate Friday night against No. 23 Edinboro and move on to face Clarion on the road Sunday, Smith will look to lead WVU to a couple more dual match victories, hopefully ending the season on a high note.

Then it will be tournament time for Smith and some fellow Mountaineers, as the Big 12 championships begin in early March, followed by the NCAA championships in mid-March.

“Jake needs to keep working hard, and he will do amazing things at Big 12s and NCAAs,” Henson said in an interview with WVUSports.com. “If

“Growing up, I’ve always looked up to the kids that were kind of in my position and I always wanted to eventually get to this level—to be able to fulfill those shoes that I always looked up to” - Jacob Smith, WVU Wrestling he maintains his composure, he’s going to do great things.”

Smith has a combined record of 3-4 at the Big 12 Championships, including a runner-up finish two years ago, and a combined record of 3-5 at the NCAA championships.

The motivation for himself to finish the year off strong is high for Smith, but that motivation never goes away as it has played a critical role to his success in his college wres-

tling career as he continues to fill in the shoes of those he looked up to when growing up.

“I just think I’m staying consistent,” Smith said.

“It’s hard to find myself not motivated, being a Mountaineer.”

Mountaineers search to keep momentum going Wednesday

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL As it tries to start a winning streak for the first time since the end of December, the WVU women’s basketball team is set to host No. 25 Kansas State at 7 p.m. tonight at the WVU Coliseum.

After going through a threegame losing streak, the Mountaineers (17-8, 5-8 Big 12) turned things around on Saturday, demolishing Oklahoma State thanks to a school-record 17 3-pointers.

“I think we are getting a little swagger back,” said head coach Mike Carey. “I think we are gaining some more confidence. We are shooting the ball better and

moving the ball better. We’re rebounding the ball better. If we can do those things (Wednesday) night, we should be right there.”

Sophomore guard Tynice Martin comes into tonight’s matchup on fire as of late. In the past two games against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, Martin has scored 35 and 30 points, respectively. It was the first time a Mountaineer has had back-to-back 30-point games since Meg Bulger in 2005.

Her performance last week earned her Big 12 Conference Player of the Week honors. Martin is averaging a team-leading 18.1 points per game this season.

“She’s been very aggressive offensively and Chania Ray has done a great job of finding her,”

“I think we are getting a little swagger back.”

-Mike Carey, Head Coach WVU Women’s Basketball

LACHLAN FORD / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU guard Chania Ray pushes the Mountaineer offense forward during a 89-79 win over Texas Tech on Jan. 25, 2017.

Carey said. “A lot of those shots, Chania Ray is setting her up, you have to give her a lot of credit too.”

Like she has all season, cen-

ter Lanay Montgomery will man the post for the Mountaineers.

The senior is second in the nation in field goal percentage at 68.2 percent and is ninth na-

tionally in blocked shots.

The Wildcats (18-7, 8-5 Big 12) are led by a pair of seniors in center Breanna Lewis and guard Kindred Wesemann. The two are each averaging exactly 14 points per game this season for K-State.

When the two teams faced each other earlier this season on Jan. 1, the Wildcats came out on top, pulling a a decisive 86-71 victory behind Lewis’ 23-point performance.

“I want us to attack their zone a lot better,” Carey said. “We need to have better ball movement and go inside out. Defen-

sively, they beat us on a lot of backdoors and a lot of touches in the paint. We need to keep their guards out of the paint and limit them to one shot. We need to try to get a running game going before they set up in a zone.”

In that game, Ray scored a career-high 23 points for the Mountaineers, but the team got zero points from its bench, which ended up costing them a chance at the victory.

If the Mountaineers are to upset the Wildcats tonight, they have to get some kind of measurable contribution from their bench.

SCOUTING THE NFL DRAFT West Virginia is sending five players to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, marking the most of any school this year in the Big 12.

Rasul Douglas (Cornerback) Douglas excelled his senior season, recording a national best eight interceptions. He’s rated as the No. 15 cornerback in this year’s Draft class and is tabbed as a third round selection.

Shelton Gibson (Receiver) After tallying 951 receiving yards as a junior, Gibson declared a year early for the NFL Draft.

He’s projected as a sixth-seventh round pick by CBS, but is also deemed as a fourth rounder by WalterFootball.com.

The Ohio native is the No. 3 center and is projected in the second-third round.

Noble Nwachukwu (Defensive Line) Despite taking a slight step back in numbers, Nwachukwu finished with four sacks during his final year in Morgantown. Nwachukwu is slated to go in the seventh round or be picked up as a free agent.

Rushel Shell (Running Back) Hindered by injuries, Shell finished with 514 rushing yards and five touchdowns as a senior – his lowest marks during his three years at WVU. Shell is listed as the No. 37 running back and is projected to go undrafted.

WVU’s McNeil makes most CLASSIFIEDS of move from Jamaica to USA

BY ABBIE BACKENSTOE SPORTS WRITER

TRACK In Shamoya McNeil’s homeland of Jamaica, her primary school would often host small events where the students would compete against each other.

After watching her compete in one of the events, the track and field coach at her school invited McNeil to try out.

The now junior triple jumper explained that sports are very important in Jamaica and are emphasized by involving students in them early on by hosting events such as “sports days.”

“It starts in the school systems and you go on to high school and then,

“It is about your interest and how good you are, then you’ll know if it is very important to you or if you’re interested in continuing.”

- Shamoya McNeil, WVU Track if you want and if you’re good enough, you continue,” NcNeil said. “It is about your interest and how good you are, then you’ll know if it is very important to you or if you’re interested in continuing.”

McNeil came to the United States in 2014 when she enrolled at WVU as a freshman.

“I would use the word anxious,” McNeil said about coming to the United States. “I knew it would be different and I was ready to take things on in the ‘new world’ I was in.”

She said one of the big-

gest changes in coming to the U.S. was the weather.

“It changes here,” McNeil said. “Most of the time in Jamaica it just stays the same so we don’t have to change our daily routine for the weather like we do here.”

She chose to bring her talents to WVU for two reasons, one being assistant coach Shelly-Ann Gallimore, and the other being academics. “(Gallimore) came to my championship in Jamaica and recruited me, as well as other coaches from other schools, but I thought the offer that was

placed by West Virginia was better than the others,” McNeil said. “I also thought since Shelly is also Jamaican, that would be a good guidance and background for me, so I chose this school.”

Academically and athletically, McNeil has proven her worth as a Mountaineer.

She earned Academic All-Big 12 first team her sophomore year, as well as earning All-Big 12 at the 2016 Track and Field Big 12 Championships for her performance in the triple jump.

“West Virginia has a good academic standard,” NcNeil said. “I’m interested in that along with my track career, so I thought that this would be a good mixture of everything.”
