KAZAN, Russia -- Wellesley College cross country and track and field student-athlete, Sharon Ng, is currently in Kazan, Russia, competing for the United States at the World University Games in the sport of badminton.

The World University Games, or the "Universiade," is an International multi-sport event, organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The name is a combination of the words "University" and "Olympiad".  The event has been held in some form since 1924 and the 2013 version is taking place in Kazan Russia.

A member of both the track and field and cross country teams for the Blue, Ng was an All-Region performer in track this spring and was a part of Wellesley's record setting 4x800m relay team.
