The summer after ninth grade, Zoey Griffith found herself in an unfamiliar setting: a dorm on the Morehead State University campus. There, she'd spend the months before her sophomore year taking classes in core subjects like math and biology, as well as electives like oil painting. For Griffith, it was an opportunity, but a scary one. "It was a big deal for me to live on campus at the age of 14," she said.
"We've been really intentional about telling the stories of our student athletes and sharing their personal stories that extend far beyond the fields and courts of competition," said Lisa Campos, vice president for intercollegiate athletics and athletic director.
