Wichita State sport management major Larissa Raigosa got her first hands-on experience in the sports industry by working at the 2025 NCAA basketball tournament in Wichita. As part of the duplication team, she delivered game stats to media during timeouts and postgame interviews — learning the importance of communication, teamwork and adaptability along the way.
She also received praise from colleagues and instructors for her performance. The opportunity gave her valuable insight into the behind-the-scenes logistics of major sporting events and confirmed her passion for the field.
