While there is still plenty of uncertainty about how NCAA sports will look in the 2020-2021 school year, several big names are making changes in anticipation of a return to competition. Here is a running list of transfer news.
Fiona O’Keeffe To New Mexico
The eight-time All-American from Stanford has decided to complete her remaining track eligibility in Albuquerque for the Lobos. O’Keeffe was third in the 5000m at the 2019 NCAA Indoor Championships, her highest placing at an NCAA championship. O’Keeffe’s sister, Olivia, is a sophomore for New Mexico.
O'Keeffe is an 8x All-American, a Pac-12 champion in cross country, a 2x MPSF champion in the indoor 3,000-meters and holds the Stanford program record in the indoor 5,000-meters.#GoLobos https://t.co/yIeuX9A2Kj
