This fantastic female sports anchors certainly lives up to her last name! Cari Champion boasts an incredible career as a female sports anchor. Before setting her eyes on the sporting world, Champion worked as a news journalist covering human interest stories for Orange Country News and WPTV-TV. However, she recently made the jump and now stars as a lead anchor for ESPN’s flagship program, SportsCenter.
The jump makes sense, as in real life, Champion has always been an avid basketball fan, supporting the Los Angeles Lakers and UCLA Bruins. She also loves tennis and Serena Williams, saying, “They made me love the sport even more. They opened the door to tennis for so many different people.” Champion also created the program “Brown Girls Dreams,” offering mentorship to black women interested in a sports career.
