West Texas A&M University Athletics

One of the most decorated track & field athletes in West Texas A&M history takes her rightful spot in the Hall of Champions. Affessi was the first person in Division II history to win the USTFCCCA Women's Field Athlete of the Year Award on three different occasions, winning the NCAA DII Outdoor National Title in the long jump in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Affessi also added National Titles in the indoor triple jump (2018) and the outdoor 4x100m relay (2017). The Geneva, Switzerland native still holds the indoor and outdoor school record in the long jump.
 
Affessi, an 11-time All-American, helped the Lady Buffs claim NCAA Division II National Championships in 2017 (outdoor) and 2018 (indoor). She was the first athlete in school history to win multiple National Titles in a single event, claiming the long jump and 4x100m relay crown in 2017. Affessi was dominant at the Lone Star Conference Championships, winning nine conference titles during her career to be named the Lone Star Conference Female Athlete of the Year in 2019. Affessi currently works as a Clinical Counselor Associate in Oregon.
