CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Head women’s basketball coach Katie Meier accepted a #Chillin4Charity challenge from UCLA head coach Cori Close and Marquette head coach Carolyn Kieger on Friday morning.
With the help of University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala and men’s basketball sophomore Tonye Jekiri, Meier happily took a dousing of ice cold water.
After their coach completed her challenge, seniors Suriya McGuire and Necole Sterling took their buckets of cold water.
