The Sophie Cunningham Classic allowed young female athletes to take center stage and allowed Cunningham to give back to the community where she dominated opponents on the court as a high school player at Rock Bridge and a college athlete at the University of Missouri. While Cunningham was dominant on the court, she was also involved in the parks, recreation and sport degree program. She chose the sport management track, too, earning her degree in 2020. The Classic also allowed sport management students at the University of Missouri the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on learning experiences at a high-profile event. |
