For a lot of students at the University of Louisville, some are just a short drive from campus to get back home. Others live a city or state over. For a select group of student-athletes, though, that expands to a whole other country.
Recently, U of L established the “Los Cardenales”, a group of Latinx and Hispanic students that mainly hail from countries and territories south of the border, in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The group’s sponsor, Monica Negron (who is from Puerto Rico and played lacrosse for the university), emphasized that the group’s goal is to connect with other Hispanic/Latinx student-athletes.
