InvictaFC Fighter (and soon to be UFC fighter hopefully) Sara McMann tweeted a question Thursday about the who many fighters went to McMann’s Alma mater.
This got us to thinking about how many of the 65 or so fighters at InvictaFC have college degrees. The answer is 14 (and counting).
- In the physical realm, Kaitlin Young (Kinesiology), Jessamyn Duke (fitness and wellness management) , and Tara LaRosa & Sally Krumdiack (Physical Education) all have bachelors degrees
- Carla Esparza has a bachelors in sports management; while Emily Peters-Kagan has one in Management and International Business.
- In the law enforcement, Tecia Torres and Ashley Cummins both have Bachelors in the criminal justice field.
- In two of the most unique degrees among the fighters, Shayna Baszler holds one in Religion and and the other in Abnormal Child Psych.
- Among those who have Masters degrees, McMann got hers in Mental Health Counseling and Jess Philippus has a MBA.
- Barb Honchak holds three degrees – A.S. in applied science. B.S. in molecular biology and M.S. is in ecology and genetics.
- Those working on their graduate degrees include Lynn Alvarez (Masters in nursing) and InvictaFC 4 main eventer Claudia Gadelha (Law degree). Both expect to get them in 2013.
