Virginia Women Sign Five to NLIs

Published by Virginia SID on December 9th, 2015

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Virginia director of track and field/cross country Bryan Fetzer announced Wednesday that five student-athletes, Emma Call, Anna Jefferson, Nadia Power, Olivia Sargent and Alexis Woodley, have signed National Letters of Intent to join the UVA women’s track and field and cross country team in Fall 2016.

“Taking an analogy from (UVA baseball) Coach Brian O’Connor, we hit some ‘home runs’ with this class,” Fetzer said. “The class should develop into one of the best in UVA history. Each individual fills a specific need to move our women's program to the next level.”

Emma Call • Middle Distance/Cross Country • Richmond, Va.
• Three-time Virginia state champion – 800m, 1,000m, mile
• Virginia state cross country champion

“Emma is one of the top middle distance runners in Virginia for several years now. She possesses great range and will be a great addition to our middle distance group, as well as cross country in the fall. She is a great competitor and I believe has a huge upside.” – women’s head cross country coach Todd Morgan

“I chose UVA because I really felt at home at Charlottesville. Before my official visit, I was somewhat apprehensive, but being there and getting to feel part of the team and part of the student body greatly influenced my decision. First and foremost, I felt the kinesiology program (what I will be majoring in) was challenging and rigorous, and I felt I would learn a lot from being in the program. Additionally, many members of the cross country team were in it and gave high reviews. Next, I felt I really connected with many of the girls on the team, and while I came in not knowing any of them personally, I felt accepted and part of the team. Additionally, I felt confident in Coach Morgan and that he would be able to get me where I want to go in terms of athletics. But overall I loved the atmosphere of the Grounds and the surrounding area. I have always dreamed of going to UVA, after learning that my father, Robert Call, had gone to the university for undergraduate and medical school, and now that dream can become a reality.” - Call
