Judge Jennifer Coffman isn't the typical athlete we talk about when discussing UK athletics, but she’s made a huge impact both on the university and across the bluegrass state.
In an interview with BBN Tonight’s Maggie Davis, Judge Coffman discussed breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes and how Title IX has impacted women across the country, including herself. The stereotype Judge Coffman had to overcome wasn't just being a woman, but being a cheerleader as well.
“Stereotypes of cheerleaders and federal judges,” Coffman asked, “they couldn't be farther apart, right?”
Coffman was a cheerleader for the University of Kentucky in the 1970s.
