Heckman Named to Horizon League Council

The Horizon League has announced the members of the League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) who will serve as representatives on the Council and five cabinets in the League governance structure for the 2018-19 academic year, as well as the SAAC Leadership Team. These student-athletes and other members of the League SAAC gathered in June in Indianapolis to begin their work for the upcoming year.

Wright State's Maria Heckman will serve as the student-athlete representative on the Council. The Minster, Ohio native, a track and field student-athlete for the Raiders, will be the student-athlete voice and vote on the Council, alongside all ten Athletics Directors, the chair of the Faculty Athletic Representative Advisory Group, and the chair of the Senior Women's Administrator Advisory Group. This is the second year in the League's redesigned governance structure, which provides student-athletes with a voice and vote on the Council and cabinets. Youngstown's State Alexis Roach served as the first student-athlete member of the Council during the 2017-18 year.

Throughout the year, the twenty-member League SAAC will continue their work, participating in several video conferences to discuss league issues and providing feedback to their cabinet and Council representatives as topics move through the governance structure. WSU golfer Bryce Haney will also represent Wright State on the Horizon League SAAC.
