(Photo courtesy of Marquette Athletics.)For many student-athletes, returning to their alma mater after graduating is not common as some go pro while others head into their respective working force. But that was not the path former Marquette cross country and now assistant coach Mary Hanson followed.
Hanson, who had an illustrious career with the Golden Eagles, is back in Milwaukee for more after graduating last spring.
However, it is not to continue running through various courses throughout the Midwest, but instead coaching from the sideline as she joined head coach Sean Birren’s staff as an assistant coach this season.
