Tracey Mosley

BEIJING – Oklahoma City University softball will be represented in the Olympics by three-time NAIA all-American Tracey Mosley of Australia and signee Desiree Mujica of Venezuela.

Mosley is one of four former OCU softball players who have helped their countries win Olympic medals. Mosley was a part of Australia's silver medal-winning team in the 2002 Olympics, while Sue Fairhurst helped Australia to the bronze in 2000. Cindy Yan Fang and Christie Liu Xuqing helped China to the silver in 1996.

Other athletes with OCU ties selected as Olympic alternates were former OCU wrestling assistant coach Tyrone Lewis, who was coached by OCU's Archie Randall, Kristie Marano, who will be a volunteer assistant coach for the OCU wrestling program and rower Cody Lowry, an OCU graduate and former graduate assistant coach.

Prather, who concluded her softball career with the Pirates in May, has been on staff with the Wizards since graduating last spring, but last week was elevated to the full-time position on the Wizards' staff.

In addition to playing softball for Park, Prather was one of the Athletic Department's top student assistants, playing a vital role in game-day operations for the Pirates during soccer, volleyball and basketball games where she worked alongside her brother, Bo, who also finished his career on the diamond last May as a pitcher for the Park baseball squad.
