Changing the Norm: Oiselle Signs Four Female Distance Runners of Color
July 19, 2023
Prior to the July 6-9 USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, women’s apparel brand Oiselle announced the signing of four new athletes to its Haute Volee team, which is made up of rising elite and professional athletes. Graves was signed to the team, along with fellow steeplechaser and training partner Madie Boreman, 1,500-meter runner Melissa Tanaka, and 800-meter specialist Brenna Detra.
The signing of these athletes, who are all women of color, is especially noteworthy, as this demographic is still vastly underrepresented in distance running events in the U.S. Yahoo Life
