 My GUEST today is Patricia Melton, a graduate of Yale University, New Haven - Connecticut, where she earned her Bachelor’s of Art at Yale University and an M.A., in Educational Administration & Supervision/Business at Arizona State University. She's currently the President of New Haven Promise that, had overseen the disbursement of more than $25 million in scholarships to more than 2,300 New Haven students. Those students have largely been first-generation, low-income students of color, just as she had been in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. As an outstanding athlete in college, Melton has applied many competitive and leadership lessons to overcome significant challenges in her athletic and professional careers. Resilience and the ability to pivot are baked into her DNA.   Patricia, as a student-athlete, had a remarkable career on the track as well while attending Yale University. She was a Field Hockey and Lacrosse recruit, Melton became a track walk-on after a disappointing season and conflict with her college coach.  A seven-time Ivy League champion, captain of her team, and NCAA Track All-American, as a sprinter, she moved to the 400-meter hurdles late in her college career. She has been bestowed the highest athletic honor in her Yale class, the Nellie Elliott Award. Melton finished her athletic career at the the1988 U.S. Olympic trials where she was a finalist in the 800 meters. 

 

NOW Today, we’re talking about "Rivalries and their potential impacts on making the sport better" We will also look at some of the challenges we face as an athlete and how might we learn something from past athletes - with our special guest from New Haven, Connecticut. Patricia Melton certainly will delight our audience on this topic and more.

For our listeners and viewers, this episode should be very interesting as Patricia, an Ivy Leaguer, brings a different perspective to our community.
