Hello Bear fans! My name is Jayne Strand and I am new to the team this year! I just transferred from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa so I will be coming in as a junior. Kirkwood was a great experience, we won the national championship both years I was there. Now I am really excited to be here in Greeley and see what being a bear is all about! It has been a little bit of an adjustment so far with the workload at the D1 level compared to junior college, but everyone here is helping me make it as easy of a transition as possible. Last week at our team golf fundraiser is was really fun to meet friends and families of the girls here as well as some fans and boosters. Everyone here is so nice! They have really made me feel at home. I found out the other day that it just so happens I am not the only 20 year old girl who likes to rollerblade! Maybe it is an Iowa thing… but all the girls from Iowa have roller blades here too so the other day we all went for a stroll. I'm sure it was a sight for anyone driving down the street to see three girls on wheels towering well over six feet! I’m really excited for the season to come and to get to meet a lot of wonderful people here in Greeley. Go Bears!
