Family members, friends and coaches remembered University of Utah student and athlete Lauren McCluskey as kind, sensitive, intelligent, dedicated and beautiful at a Sunday celebration of her life held in her hometown of Pullman, Wash.
University of Utah President Ruth Watkins and track and field coach Kyle Kepler were among the hundreds of mourners who turned out to remember the 21-year-old U. track and field athlete and Pullman High School graduate at the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Event Center. McCluskey was shot and killed on the U. campus last month by a man she had briefly dated.
