Personal
Blunt, a television and film major, says that the most thrilling
moment in her athletic career at St. John’s was when the team
bought home the Queens Nassau Cup for the first time last season
... she chose St. John’s because of the diversity of the
university, its great academic program and the legacy in sports
that she wanted to be a part of ... for Blunt, wearing the St.
John’s uniform means commitment, the ability to perform at a high
level and for the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the
greats that made St. John’s athletics what it is today.
