Update on Yale Partnership

by Sally Bergesen

Social

Oiselle has learned that the Yale University Athletics Department has signed a 10-yr, $16 million dollar exclusive agreement with Under Armour. This agreement will supersede Oiselle's partnership with the Yale Women's Cross-Country and Track and Field teams, effective Fall of 2016. 

While we are deeply saddened to not be able to continue our apparel partnership beyond the summer of '16, we are and will continue to be grateful and honored to be part of the history of the Yale program. We will be cheering on the feminine fierce athletes of the Yale Track and Field and Cross Country programs, and will relish this first and last spring season of 2016. Head up, wings out. Go Yale! 

Sisters in sport,

“Our Oiselle experience has been first rate in every way. To a woman, our entire team from the throwers to the sprinters to the distance runners loves the gear. Sally and the entire crew have been incredibly responsive to all of our requests. They collaborated with us throughout the entire process to formulate a look and fit that were exactly what we and Yale wanted."

- David Shoehalter, The Mark T. Young '68 Director of T&F and XC

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen

I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.

Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird

This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.

Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes

We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes.
