NWBA Women’s Spotlight Series
Women’s wheelchair basketball student-athlete
Crystal Jones was recently featured in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) Women’s Spotlight Series.
The NWBA Women's Spotlight Series, presented by the Women's Growth & Diversity Committee, highlights the amazing stories of women in our sport and organization. Every two weeks the Women's Growth & Diversity Committee spotlights a female member. The conversation will share their personal experiences and impact the sport/NWBA has had on them in their lives.
A student-athlete attending Hostos Community College, Jones is a member of Team CUNY’s inaugural season in the NWBA. The program recently competed in its first-ever collegiate road tournament at the University of Illinois, competing against the host Illini and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Joining the ranks of the NWBA is yet another notch on the journey towards national and global prominence as the program continues to make strides since its inception. The wheelchair team is a result of a 2017 initiative, CUNY's Inclusive and Adaptive Sports platform, providing an opportunity for 11,000 CUNY students with disabilities to participate in four sports — track and field, swimming, tennis and basketball, the first sport the University has adopted as part of this collegiate model.
