Cooksey is the defending GLVC and NCAA II Great Lakes Regional champion and is a 10-time All-American heading into her final season of competition.

The UE Early Bird Invitational is one of only four meets the Screaming Eagles will compete in prior to the league championships October 22. USI’s next meet is September 16 when it competes at the Indiana Intercollegiate in Bloomington, Indiana.
