The 2nd woman ever has been named to serve as the West Virginia University mascot:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University has named its second female mascot in school history.
Point Pleasant's Rebecca Durst was announced as the Mountaineers' musket-carrying mascot for the 2009-10 school year Saturday night at the men's basketball game with Louisville.
Durst, a sophomore, won a cheer-off over fellow students Brock Burwell of Harrisville, Rebecca Funk of Clear Spring, Md., and current mascot Michael Squires of Clarksburg. The cheer-off was held at Wednesday night's game with DePaul.
Congratulations to Rebecca Durst, who is following in the trailblazing foot steps of our current Secretary of State Natalie Tennant.
