Woman of the Year

Victoria McMillan – Cornell Junior (Graduating Early) | San Jose, Calif.

Victoria McMillan has exemplified excellence, resilience, and leadership throughout her collegiate experience. After sustaining a severe injury early in her career that ultimately ended her ability to compete, McMillan transitioned into a student coach role while remaining an integral part of the team.

Excelling academically, she will graduate in just three years with a 4.045 GPA, pursuing three majors along with a concentration in social justice. She has also served as a team service chair, tutor, and mental health advocate within the Cornell community.

Her experiences have inspired her to pursue a career in sports law focused on advocacy and equity for female athletes. McMillan’s journey reflects perseverance, leadership, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond athletics.
